Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a newly hired laborer for Daley Corporation, was cutting trees, lifting, and chipping tree parts at a construction site. He had been on the job for 1 1/2 days. Both the temperature and humidity were abnormally high and had been for the previous six days. Employee #1 fainted, suffering from a heat-related disorder. Approximately 30 minutes passed before trained first aid personnel arrived. Employee #1 died. A strict work rest regimen had not been specified or adhered to, the coworker who responded to the emergency had not been trained in first aid, and a trained supervisor was not present. The delay in calling for an ambulance can be attributed to the poor judgment of the inadequately trained coworker giving first aid, the distance of a supervisor, and the lack of clear communication about job site responsibilities.
