Employee Slips and Fractures Hip

At approximately 11:15 a.m. on June 25, 2010, Employee #1 was working in the centrifuge sludge rack. The centrifuge sludge rack is used to separate the water from the treated sludge for transportation by truck to a disposal facility. The trucks have a split lid that is manually open on both sides to accommodate loading. Employee #1 began opening the left side of the split lid of the truck when the rope broke. He hurried to the right side of the truck to open the split lid and begin loading sludge. As he moved to the right side, he slipped on water that was on the ground and fell on his right side. He struck the ground and sustained a femoral fracture in the right hip area. Emergency medical services were summoned and transported him to Kaiser Walnut Creek where he received further medical attention. Employee #1 was hospitalized for several days for medical treatment.
