Final narrative
An employee was transporting a pallet containing two paper rolls (weighing about 900-1,000 pounds each) using a standup rider pallet jack. The pallet jack collided with another pallet, causing the rolls to shift. One struck his leg, breaking it.
An employee was training on an rolling container carrier on the dry, non-frozen storage side of the distribution center. She made a turn around the end cap and her right foot struck the rail protecting the endcap racking. The employee's foot was fractured.
An employee was a passenger in a utility vehicle that was driving up a hill on a wooded trail. As the vehicle made a right turn, three fingers on the employee's right hand were caught against a tree and fractured.
Two employees were working by a switch gear. Upon opening the switchgear, employee 1 noticed some loose bolts. As employee 1 looked back, employee 2 reached into the switchgear and an arc flash occurred. They were both severely burned. Safety gear was worn at the time.
An employee was walking on a concrete storm water drain canal when they tripped on the unlevel concrete surface and fell, breaking their left ankle. The employee was hospitalized for surgery.
Employees were inspecting a broken telephone pole to remove it and attached the cable from the roadway. They removed the broken pole from the cable/strand so they could raise the cable/strand up and attach to a tree to gain clearance until it could be repaired. The injured employee cut the top (above the cable/strand) of the pole off and it fell to the ground in the roadway. They then moved that piece out of the roadway. This left a 6-foot piece still attached to the strand (below the strand) at about a 45-degree angle to the ground. When the remaining 6-foot piece was cut from the cable/strand, it broke and swung toward the injured employee, knocking him to the ground. The employee sustained a fractured skull and a fractured L5 vertebra.
An employee was manually moving a dolly (loaded with 7 sheets of drywall) out of a workspace when the dolly tipped over and landed on his right ankle. The employee was hospitalized with a fractured ankle and required surgery.
An employee was on a 28-foot extension ladder troubleshooting equipment at a residential property. While on the ladder, the strand cable supporting the extension ladder failed, causing the ladder and the employee to fall the ground and into the roadway. The employee sustained facial injuries and a dislocated left elbow.
An employee was stacking concrete blocks for a concrete bunker. As a block was swinging into place, the employee's left leg was pinched between two blocks, resulting in injuries to his left heel and lower leg.
An employee was climbing a ladder to inspect a vent in a restaurant dining area. The ladder slid out on the floor and the employee fell approximately 12 feet onto the ladder and the floor. He was hospitalized with a dislocated shoulder and a back injury.
An employee was filtering a fryer with a fryer filter machine. After going around the corner and then returning to the fryers, the employee stepped into the filter machine. The hot oil burned the employee's right ankle, and the employee was hospitalized.
An employee was cleaning out corn from a grain bin. The sweep auger in the bin was activated and caught his trouser leg. His leg was pulled into the auger, which injured his calf and caused leg fractures and lacerations.
