| At approximately 8:30 a.m. on August 8, 2008, Employee #1, a laborer, was helping his coworkers in the lifting of some steel parts, because the crane operator was absent that day. He tied the steel parts with a rope and they were being lifted by the coworkers located at a steel tank, nearly 70 ft high above the floor. Employee #1 was supposed to be in his worksite. However, he used an elevator classified as man lift type, to climb to the working area, where his coworkers were working. Employee #1 had a full harness and a safety belt fastened with a large lanyard. His safety belt lanyard entangled with any part of the equipment. He was hanged with his full harness safety belt pressed around his neck. Employee #1 was killed. | ||||||
