Investigation Summary
On October 31 2003, Employee #1 was walking to his job assignment on a catwalk. The grating slid out from under the two clips that were holding it in place and off one of the supports it was on. This allowed the grating to tip, and the employee fell through the opening. Employee #1 fell approximately seventy feet. The employee died at the hospital soon after arrival.
