Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 p.m. on August 8, 2011, Employee #1 and a coworker were rotating the outlet valves of a desander, which was used to separate sand and silt from drilling fluid. The desander was suspended from the fork of a forklift. Employee #1 laid beneath the desander and attempted to loosen the bolts on the third valve as the coworker assisted him. While Employee #1 was working, the load shifted and fell from the forklift. He was struck by the load and sustained crushing injuries. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and Employee #1 was airlifted to a medical center, where he died the following morning.
