Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on May 6, 2004. Employee #1 was working as arts professor in the school auditorium. The auditorium was old and had undergone several makeovers but the stage hardware, including the lighting, was obsolete and the overhead lights must be moved by hand by a student on a 14-foot ladder for different directions and effects. All the lights on the 16-foot high ceiling were positioned before the play according to their use in specific scenes and then were turned on or off from a remote location as the scenes demand. Employee #1 stated that prior to the evening musical, the producers changed the lighting many times. Then they wanted one more change. The students who usually went up the ladder to make changes refused, so Employee #1 went up the ladder to smooth things over. The light which had to be moved was stuck, so he leaned to the left and gave a strong exertion. The combination of the lean, the exertion, and possibly the light coming unstuck caused the ladder to fall to the left. The student steadying the ladder could not hold it and Employee #1 crashed into the metal seating chairs, striking his head on the left side and causing multiple fractures of his upper left arm. Employee #1 was taken to San Pedro Penninsula Hospital on May 6, 2004 and released with multiple pins and plates in his arm on May 9, 2004.
