Investigation Nr: 14490395
Event: 12/16/1986
EMPLOYEE KILLED BY FALLING CHUNK OF AMMONIUM SULFATE

EMPLOYEE #1 AND ANOTHER EMPLOYEE WERE ATTEMPTING TO BLAST APART A 22 FOOT HIGH PILE OF SOLIDIFIED AMMONIUM SULFATE. THE OBSERVER WATCHED WHILE EMPLOYEE #1 DRILLED A HORIZONTAL HOLE 6 FEET DEEP INTO THE PILE. THE DRILL HOLE WAS 10 FEET ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL. EMPLOYEE #1 LOADED THE HOLE WITH ONE STICK OF 40% NITROGLYCERIN DYNAMITE WITH AN ELECTRIC BLASTING CAP INSERTED INTO IT. EMPLOYEE #1 THEN PACKED THE HOLE. HE WAS CONNECTING A LEAD CORD TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF THE BLASTING CAP'S LEG WIRES (SO THE BLAST COULD BE SET OFF OUTSIDE THE DOORWAY OF THE BIN) WHEN A CHUNK OF SOLIDIFIED MATERIAL FELL ON HIM.
