Investigation Summary
On November 20, 1993, Employee #1 lowered himself using an overhead crane and boatswain's chair into the confined space of the firm's foundry cupola that he was going to repair. Employee #1's clothes caught on fire from a unknown source and he later died from the burns. Allied Signal Brake, the employer, did not enforce, and Employee #1 did not follow, the firm's confined space entry procedure. Neither Employee #1 nor his employer tested the confined space, locked all hazardous energy sources, or had rescue equipment available.
