Investigation Summary
At about 7:40 p.m. on August 21, 2014, Employee #1 was operating an outbound pipe control panel. A set of three pipes were on a buggy system used to position pipes for internal media blasting. The center pipe was pushed over approximately 3 feet into the back blasting cabinet. Employee #1 was attempting to reposition the pipe by placing a wood pole between the cabinet and the pipe. The cabinet moved forward pinching Employee #1 between the cabinet and pipe, killing him.
