Investigation Summary
A heavy equipment mechanic was assisting a crew that was removing a temporary steel support structure after the repair of a water turbine at the bottom of the turbine pit. The mechanic was on a catwalk. The catwalk was not protected by guardrails, and the employee was not using personal fall protection equipment. He accidentally stepped back off catwalk and fell, landing on a vertical piece of angle iron lying on the concrete floor. He was impaled on the upper part of his left thigh and suffered a shattered hip socket. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
