Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was one of two employees performing an arc welding metal spray procedure inside a continuous digester at a paper mill. The work was being performed on a scaffold 50 feet from the top of the vessel, which had a vertical height of 155 feet and an inside diameter of 14 feet. A fire started on a tarp below the work scaffold. Because the employees were not connected to lifelines, they exited from the vessel by hanging onto a boatswain's chair as it was lifted to the top. Employee #1 fell from the ascending chair. He died of hyperthermia before rescue workers could reach him.
