EMPLOYEE INJURED AFTER FALL THROUGH HOLE IN FLOOR

On October 20, 1997, Employee #1 and another employee were checking the ceiling ducting for installation of air conditioning taps. They were looking up at the ceiling and walking backwards.

The warning tape was at the edge of the hole with visqueen plastic covering the hole, which made it look like it was a solid floor.
