Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on May 21, 2013, Employee #1, of Marborg Industries, suffered a serious injury while he was recycling some materials. Employee #1 needed to lower a stack of 65-gallon trash containers to the floor of the flat bed truck, and remove one at a time, then assemble wheels onto the bottom of the container, roll it to the edge of the elevated lift gate and lower it down to the workers on the ground. When the accident occurred, Employee #1 was pulling the top container from the stack, when he slipped on the wet surface of the lift gate where he was standing. At the time there was rain water on the lift gate, which had spilled out of the containers. Employee #1 fell forward and went through the opening between the top guardrail and the middle rail and landed on the ground face down. Employee #1 indicated that he was knocked out for a few minutes. The other employees came over to help him; someone called 911 and tried to keep Employee #1 still until the paramedics arrived. Employee #1 was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital by ambulance. He was hospitalized until May 23, 2013. His injuries included a fractured left thumb and an epidural hematoma on his right side. No surgery was performed.
