Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:20 p.m. on May 4, 2004, Employee #1, a garbage collector, was sorting glass for recycling purposes, throwing the incoming bottles into different bins. One of the bottles hit an "I" beam, which is part of the bins' structure, and shattered upon impact. The shards of glass bounced back and hit Employee #1 in the face, causing serious lacerations of his nose, left eye and eyelid, despite his safety glasses. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
