Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on January 27, 2006, Employee #1, working for Shepard's Steel Co. Inc. in Redwood City, CA, was installing reinforcing steel when his foot slipped off a wet rebar, scraping his left leg at the shin bone. The employee did not go to the hospital to treat his lacerated leg and applied a bandage to his injury instead. Employee #1 said that he did not take the cut seriously because, in his thirty years of experience, the scrapes and cuts experienced in this job were very minor. Over time, his leg developed a staphylococcal infection and on March 13, 2006, he sought treatment at John Muir Medical Center in Concord, CA, where he remained for three days.
