On January 14, 2000, Employee #1, a boiler man at a sawmill, fell into an open sump pit and adjacent excavation (6-ft-wide by 4.5-ft-deep) that had become filled with hot condensate that had drained from the dry kiln and overflowed the holding tanks in the sump pit (approximately 8-ft-deep by 15-ft-square). The sump pumps did not maintain adequate drainage. Employee #1 was fatally injured from thermal burns. | |||||||
