Abstract: Employee #1 was on a truck-mounted rotating and articulating personnel platform painting an oil field horsehead pump in a remote production facility. He had neglected to turn off the pump, which was set on a timer. While Employee #1 was in the bucket painting the top portion of the pump, it activated, causing the counterbalance to strike the bucket platform and push Employee #1 through the pump's structural framework. He was rushed to the nearest hospital, where he died of massive pelvic injuries a short time later.
