Investigation Summary
On April 25, 2008, Employee #1 and coworkers were walking along a corridor when Employee #1 fell through a floor opening and landing on the floor (same surface level). (Note: switch area was in the opposite direction.) Two electrical contractor employees had opened the floor access panel to enter a utility tunnel and trace wires. They left the floor opening partially covered and without barriers or guards in place. The electrical contractor employees responded to Employee #1's calls for help. Employee #1 sustained a dislocated right shoulder and blunt trauma to his right thigh and left knee. The general contractor assistant superintendent transported him to the hospital by car. He was released approximately three hours later.
