Investigation Summary
On February 3, 2010, Employee #1 was inside a sludge tank (approximately 15 ft deep, 15 ft wide, and 25 ft long) tending a hose for a coworker that was conducting a paint spraying operation. Employee #1 was wearing a protective suit, gloves, and full-face respirator. Both employees repeatedly moved in and out of the tank during their shift, while a third worker tended to the paint truck and spraying equipment. When the coworker inside the tank noticed that Employee #1 stopped talking, he found Employee #1 slumped over against a wall and the ladder had fallen over. There were no witnesses to Employee #1's collapse. Preliminary coroner findings indicated that Employee #1 likely died of a heart attack.
