Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was on a temporary work platform, waiting for Employee #2 to cut loose a piece of 4 in. Schedule 40 steel pipe and to lower it to him for removal from an air shaft. Without realizing it, Employee #2 cut loose the only remaining attachment, causing the pipe to fall and strike the work platform. The platform dislodged and fell down the shaft. As Employee #1 was exiting the shaft, he stood on a walkboard that had also been partially dislodged. Both he and the board fell 121 ft down the shaft to a concrete floor. Employee #1 was killed instantly upon impact. Employee #2 was injured but he did not require hospitalization.
