Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 49846.015
Event: 04/29/2013
Employee working in confined space is asphyxiated and killed

At 8:00 p.m. on April 29, 2013, Employee #1 and a coworker were making preparations to clean an over the road tank trailer that had carried crude tall oil. The employees entered the tank trailer but did not test the internal atmosphere with a calibrated direct-reading instrument for oxygen, flammable gases and vapors, or potential toxic air contaminants. Employee #1 entered the tank trailer and separated from the coworker. The coworker later found Employee #1 collapsed at the bottom of the tank and unresponsive. Emergency medical services (EMS) were called and extracted Employee #1 from the tank. EMS transported the employee to the hospital where he was pronounced dead by asphyxiation.
