Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on April 20, 2007, Employee #1 was working as a laborer for a personnel agency. He was working on a conveyor system, moving product from the conveyor to pallets. When one pallet was full, he decided to use an electric pallet jack to move the pallet to a different area. He lost control of the back portion of the jack, and his left leg, which he had stuck outside the rails of the jack, was crushed against a metal rack. He sustained a fracture to his foot or ankle. He was initially transported to a Palm Occupational Medicine facility, but he was transferred to Tulare District Hospital. The physician treating Employee #1 had him return 4 days later, after swelling had subsided, and then performed surgery on April 24, 2007.
