Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on October 24, 2018, an employee was using a smoke vacuum to remove welding fumes as a coworker welded a piece of angle iron onto a main beam. An adjacent elevator traveled upwards as its counterweight traveled downward while the employee and the coworker were still working. The distance from the counterweight to where the employees were working was approximately 16-19 inches. The employee was struck in the head by the counterweight of adjacent elevator, resulting in a fatal head injury.
