| At approximately 2:00 p.m. on March 15, 2013, Employee #1, a plasterer employed by Quality Plastering Inc., was working at a new residential construction site. He was applying a finish coat of plaster to a retaining wall. A swarm of bees appeared. Employee #1 attempted to run from the swarm. He slipped and fell over the wall, incurring serious injury. Employee #1 was transported to Cottage Hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a right elbow fracture and a right arm fracture. He required hospitalization for three days. The employer notified Cal/OSHA at 5:34 p.m. on March 16, 2013. Cal/OSHA initiated its investigation on April 11, 2013. It was determined that Employee #1 had been working for the company for approximately 11 years. On the day of the fall, he was performing his normal duties while working in close proximity to a supervisor and coworkers. Interviews conducted with Employee #1, his supervisor, and coworkers established, and the Cal/OSHA report concluded, that Employee #1 fell over the retaining wall as he attempted to escape a swarm of bees. | ||||||
