Employee falls from storage rack and is hospitalized

At approximately 8:45 a.m. on May 10, 2002, a warehouse manager, was loading stock in the controlled substance side of the warehouse. He was using a Crown SC 4000 forklift to move the material. While loading the top rack, he inadvertently struck the sprinkler head, causing water to flow. He believed that there was an emergency shut-off valve behind the storage rack, so he climbed approximately 20 feet up the rack to look for it. The metal rack was wet and when the employee started down, he slipped and fell striking his head on the concrete floor. The employee was taken to the Washington County Hospital Trauma Center with a concussion and laceration to the head.
