Investigation Summary
On March 20, 2007, Employee #1, along with other employees, was working in a boiler at a power plant. They were removing heat exchange tubing in the throat area of a boiler. The tubing was supporting the scaffold in the throat area. When the tubing was cut and removed from its normal location, the scaffold support was no longer secure and a portion of it fell into the bottom of the boiler. Employee #1, who was standing on the scaffold, fell with it to the bottom, and was killed.
