Investigation Summary
At 2:15 p.m. on September 20, 2018, an employee was welding an anchor bracket using a gas powered Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick) Lincoln Ranger 250GXT welder with direct current electrode positive. A coworker who had been working with the employee did not hear the welder rev up and went to check on the employee. The employee was found standing on the scissors lift with his neck lying on the metal bridge. The local police department arrived and started lifesaving measures; however, the employee was killed through electrocution.
