Carpenter Falls from Bridge Pier and Drowns

On October 4, 2005, Employee #1 was working as a carpenter, specializing in building docks. He was installing fender panels on a bridge pier. As he pulled a 1 inch diameter air hose into position to power some pneumatic tools, he fell from the pier into water approximately fifteen feet deep and drowned. Possibly, he struck his head on a protruding portion of the fender system prior to striking the water.
