Event: LBNL Event
Event Date: 12/16/2008
Category: Facilities - Preventive Maintenance
Lesson Learned Statement: 
Employees need to be vigilant when walking around the hill, using additional caution around construction sites.
Discussion: 
An employee was walking down the sidewalk of Alvarez road by B51 opposite the Bay View parking lot when a nail penetrated the bottom of their shoe and entered their foot. Employee went to health services for treatment and a tetanus shot, the employee is okay, it was more of a shock than anything else. Employees walking on the laboratory site need to be aware and vigilant especially around all the ongoing construction.

The project manager was notified and sent out a reminder to all project managers to discuss with the contractors that they must be careful when transporting materials around the site.
