Employee injured in fall from parking structure deck

At 6:30 a.m. on September 20, 2007, Employee #1 arrived at work to get ready for the day.

At approximately 6:45 a.m., Employee #1 walked a coworker to the parking deck and explained the scope of the job that day. He was showing the coworker where the work location was close to an unguarded edge when he fell about 15 ft off the edge, landing head first on the ground. He suffered a fractured left leg, a fractured right sholder, a fractured right hip, and he complained of back pain. Employee #1 was transported to Westwood UCLA Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for five days.
