Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:20 a.m. on July 31, 1999, Employee #1 was securing the top pulley of a New England boom ladder on a water tank. He climbed atop the tank and had entered through a manhole when he either slipped or the ladder kicked out from under him. Employee #1 held onto the overflow box for as long as he could, but eventually fell approximately 40 ft to the floor of the tank. He was killed.
