Investigation Summary
On January 25, 2010, Employee #1, a Laborer, was welding PVC lining in a 12-ft-diameter tunnel. The employer had built two mobile work platforms on electric-powered, rubber-tired utility vehicles to fit inside the tunnel. Each work platform consisted of three levels with an access ladder. Employee #1 was descending from the top level to the middle level when his left foot became entangled in the hot air welding tool he was holding. He tripped and fell several feet, striking his left side against a vertical pipe that functioned as a grab rail for the access ladder. Employee #1 was hospitalized for three fractured left ribs and a collapsed left lung.
