Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 13, 2013, Employee #1 was working in the plating department of a technology facility. He decided to walk to the end of an aisle in the strip etch processing area. There were a series of steps at the end of the aisle. Additionally, a slip-sheet had fallen from its platform and onto the floor at the end of this aisle. It was common practice of having a stack of slip-sheets on the platform and located at the end of this aisle. A slip-sheet was used as a spacer between each circuit board coming out of the production line, so that they are protected from damaging one another. The stack of slip-sheets were also located adjacent to a door that leads outside this building. Apparently, someone opened the door momentarily and a gush of wind may have blown one of the slip sheets to the floor. The slip-sheet was also slippery. Employee #1 stepped upon the slip-sheet, lost his balance and fell down two steps. He suffered a serious hip injury and was hospitalized over 24 hours where he underwent a left femur IM rod fixation for left sub-trochanteric hip fracture.
