Investigation Summary
At 12:50 p.m. on March 26, 2012, Employee #1 was crossing between two 60-foot by 80-foot barges moored in place on Nickajack Lake. Employee #1 was stepping across a gap approximately 2 foot wide between the barges, when his fall arrest lanyard became tangled on a mooring post. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell from the east-most barge into the 50-degree Fahrenheit water of Nickajack Lake. While in the water, Employee #1 became separated from his life jacket. As fellow employees from each barge attempted to rescue him, Employee #1 sank and drowned in 60 feet of water.
