Investigation Summary
At 9:15 a.m. on July 13, 2016, an employee was working at a facility at which metal tanks were fabricated. He was checking on the quality and specifications of a 3.0-meter-diameter (10-foot-diameter) storage tank dome. To do so, he had to climb on it. While he was on all fours, his footing slipped. He fell backward approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) to a concrete floor. His head struck the concrete floor. He sustained a concussion. He was hospitalized, but he died as a result of his injury.
