A worker in a contaminated area fell approximately 5 ft and was transported via ambulance to the Monticello-Big Lake Hospital. The individual was transported as a contaminated person. Subsequently, it has been determined that the individual was NOT contaminated. The individual, ambulance and hospital were surveyed and found to be free of contamination.
