Abstract: At 9:15 a.m. on October 23, 2015, a 38 year old male employee was assembling, installing and testing the coupling of a heavy steel piping in a pressure release valve room. The employee was alone at the time of the incident. It appears, that the employee possibly struck the existing assembled piping with the framing of the scissor lift, from which the employee was working in to raise himself to the work zone, causing the piping to break away. The employee was struck on the head by the steel coupling from the piping assembly and was killed.
