Abstract: On June 19, 2009, Employee #1, a laborer working alone, had entered the boot of a concrete grain elevator. A supervisor noticed Employee #1 missing for over an hour. Upon investigating, he found Employee #1 unresponsive at the bottom of the ladder used to enter the pit. After summoning emergency services, the supervisor entered the space to check on Employee #1 and determined that he was not breathing. The supervisor began to lose consciousness but was able to make it back up the ladder to safety. Employee #1 died of asphyxia.
