Narrative

Due to a product spill by a delivery truck driver, an employee sustained a laceration to the posterior region of his scalp, requiring 14 staples to close, due to a fall. He did not recognize that flocculent had been spilled on the ground creating a slipping hazard. As he proceeded across the spilled area he slipped striking his head on the concrete.
