Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:45 p.m. on October 9, 2006, the president of the company went outside and entered a 40-ft storage container to get some pneumatic tube parts. The container was accessible by a 6-step metal stairway. The landing of the stairway did not have any guardrails installed around the perimeter. The landing was 4 ft, 7 in. above the asphalt ground. As the president exited the container, he lost his balance. One of his employees found him lying on the ground. The president sustained a fractured skull, and fractured ribs. He was transported to Eden Hospital in Castro Valley where he was hospitalized and placed in intensive care. He was later transferred to a rehabilitation center near San Rafael.
