Employee Is Injured in Fall from Platform

At approximately 10:25 p.m. on December 14, 2010, Employee #1, a machine operator, was working alone on the 7-ft-high platform of a 70 mm twin-screw extruder to replace a malfunctioning feeder unit. Rather than move the feeder unit to the loading area of the platform, which had a gate, Employee #1 removed a guard rail to allow a forklift to access the feeder unit. He fell from the platform, struck equipment, and landed on the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center for fractured teeth. He subsequently had surgery for a shoulder injury sustained in the fall.
