Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:20 p.m. on September 29, 2008, Employee #1, a welder for a construction company, was dismantling a grizzly screen that measured 8-feet long by 10-feet wide, and had a depth of 7.5 feet. The screen was located in the employer's equipment yard. Employee #1 removed one of the two sides of the screen and lowered it to the ground. As he was making the final cuts with his welder's torch at the bottom of the screen, the center piece (screen section of the grizzly screen) fell and struck Employee #1 on the back of his head. Employee #1 was taken to UMC Hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated for multiple lacerations on the back of his head and a fracture to his L3 vertebrate.
