Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on September 28, 2020, Employee #1, a laborer employed by Mt. Diablo Lumber Inc. dba C&J Fencing, was working outdoors on a residential fencing project in Pleasant Hill, CA. The employee had been working under full sun for part of the day, and his workload was moderately strenuous. At approximately 1:00 p.m., Employee #1 reported needing a break, and the foreman instructed him to rest in the shade and drink fluids. After an extended break, the employee returned to work but complained of chest and arm pain, shortness of breath, and mentioned having asthma but no inhaler. By 3:30 p.m., the foreman called emergency services, and the employee was transported to the hospital. He reportedly lost consciousness briefly before regaining it upon the ambulance's arrival. The employee was diagnosed with heat exhaustion, likely exacerbated by dehydration and possibly methamphetamine use. The employee was hospitalized.
