Learned</h2>
<pre>For a copy of this report, see Attachments on Lessons Learned page.
An employee fell off his bicycle when he turned off a pathway onto a service road, and his bicycle's pedal hit a concrete curb edge transition piece. The worker fractured his rib and received a shoulder injury.</pre>
<h2 style="white-space:nowrap">Discussion of
Activity</h2>
<pre>On April 29, an employee fell off his bicycle when he turned off a pathway onto a service road, and the bicycle's pedal hit a concrete curb edge transition piece. The worker fell fracturing his rib and receiving a right shoulder injury. The employee was transported to the LLNL on-site fire department where he was transported by ambulance to an off-site hospital.
X-Ray confirmed the fracture. The worker was treated with a sling and pain medications, and released back to work for a short time until a scheduled shoulder surgery.</pre>
<h2 style="white-space:nowrap">Analysis</h2>
<pre>There are many obstacles on pathways, service roads, general traffic roads including cars, fork lifts, debris, pedestrians, etc. that bicycle riders must pay attention to. In this case, the rider was looking ahead for debris, glass, and other hazards and missed the curb which was at close range.</pre>
<h2 style="white-space:nowrap">Recommended Action</h2>
<pre>None for Jefferson Lab at this time.
Have the civil engineer evaluate if the curbing edge that transitions from the pathway onto the service road is obstructing or protruding too far into the roadway.</pre>
