Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on January 23, 2017, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a specialty construction company, were working at a multiemployer project at a refinery. They were installing form boards for a refractory brick inside a furnace unit. Another employee, employed by a different subcontractor, was working 35 feet above Employee #1 when he dropped a metal pipe bell reducer through a floor opening.
