Abstract: At approximately 5:35 a.m. on January 8, 2011, Employee #1 and Employee #2, of Cyclone Drilling, were starting their day on the rig. Employee #1 went to change into his work attire upstairs in the Warm House. Employee #2 observed Employee #1 running to the stairway, but he soon lost sight of Employee #1. When the tour began, Employee #1 was nowhere to be seen. Employee #2 and other crew members went to look for him. He was found face down, in a puddle of water, dead. No one witnessed the accident; however, evidence on site presumed that Employee #1 may have slipped going up the stairway. As a result, he struck his head, slid underneath the stair rail and fell approximately 17 ft to the ground.
