Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 5, 2006, Employee #1 was working as a regular, full-time employee in the vehicle storage yard at Riverside Towing, in Riverside, California. He had gone to see why his remote control would not open the yard's chain-driven, electric-powered, sliding entrance gate. He had his right hand up on the pipe rail, and when another employee used his remote controller to activate the gate, an unguarded open roller ran over Employee #1's hand. The employer took Employee #1 to the Riverside Community Hospital in Riverside, California. Employee #1 was evaluated and treated as an outpatient for the partial amputation of his right index finger with bone loss. He was hospitalized.
