Investigation Summary
On December 3, 2010, Employee #1 was working for his employer, a contractor hired to manufacture and install welding exhaust hood systems over two robotic welding cells at an auto parts plant in Andalusia, AL. Employee #1 and Coworker #1 were assigned the task of installing sheet metal on the frame of the exhaust hood over one of the robotic cells. Employee #1 and Coworker #1 were standing on aluminum extension ladders that were leaning against the exhaust hood frame. The frame measured approximately 11 feet in height. Employee #1 and Coworker #1 were drilling and screwing down the sheet metal to the frame of the exhaust hood. Coworker #1 ran out of screws and stopped work, went down his ladder and walked approximately 60 feet to where the screws were in a box. He picked up some screws and walked back to his ladder. When Coworker #1 returned to his ladder, he noticed that Employee #1's ladder had slid back, but he was unable to see Employee #1. Coworker #1 looked down on the floor and found Employee #1 laying face down with his head bleeding. Coworker #1 ran to a nearby group of coworkers and told them to call emergency services. Emergency services arrived and transported Employee #1 to a local hospital in Andalusia. Employee #1 was later transferred to a Pensacola, FL hospital for further treatment where he later died as a result of his injuries.
