Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:45 p.m. on June 9, 1986, Employee #1 and a coworker were 50 ft above the floor of a new coal silo installing the decking to a Rotath European style scaffold. Another coworker was using an airtugger to hoist 3/4 in. plywood to them. Employee #1 lost his footing and fell, possibly striking a cross bracing before reaching the floor. The main artery from his heart was torn open in two places, killing him instantly. He also suffered massive liver injuries, a fractured neck, and a partially amputated arm. Neither Employee #1 nor his coworker was wearing a safety belt.
