Employee fractures knee cap after slipping in grease

At approximately 3:50 p.m. on October 23, 1992, Employee #1 was cleaning the kitchen.

She slipped with her right foot forward and her left foot backward and landed straight down hard on her left kneecap, fracturing it. Employee #1 was taken to Kaiser Hospital for emergency treatment. According to the supervisor, somebody had spilled a transparent greasy substance by the refrigerator and failed to clean it up. The staff was re-instructed and cautioned by the supervisor in order to prevent a recurrence. The employer was cited for a violation of Title 8CCR, and a serious citation was issued.
