Investigation Summary
At about 2:00 p.m. on August 6, 2014, Employee #1, a back man, and Employee #2, a crane operator, were moving a ladle full of molten metal weighing 120 tons. The right side J-hook did not come off of the ladle, which pulled it off of the platform, causing it to fall approximately 40 feet to the ground. The molten metal splashed onto Employee #1 and Employee #2, burning both of them. They were both hospitalized and Employee #1 died due to 67 percent of his body being burned.
