Investigation Summary
On September 21, 2008, Employee #1 along with Coworkers #1, #2, and #3 were tearing down the brick doors to the settling chamber of a kiln. Employee #1 was operating the Brock, a remote controlled hammering machine used to remove bricks, while the coworkers were using a water hose to spray and cool the product as it came out of the settling chamber. Coworker #1 heard a faint "tha- thunk" sound, looked back and saw that a large cloud of ash coming towards him. He then ran out of harms way. Employees #1 and Coworkers #2 and #3 did not see the cloud hot ash and were totally engulfed by it. The employee and Coworkers #2 and #3 sustained second and third degree burns were transported to the Integris Baptist Burn Center in Oklahoma City. Employee #1 died seven days later. NOTE: There is only one injury line but three employees were injured in this accident.
