Abstract: At approximately 8:45 a.m. on September 28, 2013, Employee #1, with Alta Quality Farm Services Inc., fell from a ladder approximately eight feet high onto dirt. Employee #1 had been working as a harvester and was performing his daily duties, harvesting oranges. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and was treated for three days for a fractured tail bone/lower back. Interviews were conducted of Employee #1's supervisor and insured coworkers. Despite numerous home visits, phone messages, and a letter to Employee #1, the Division was not able to interview Employee #1. The investigation concluded that no violation of any Title 8 standard in connection with this accident occurred. As a result, the Division did not issue serious accident-related citations. Only "non-accident" related citations were issued.
