Incident on Aug 12, 2024 (fatal): Employee dies of chest trauma when crushed by falling steel
At 12:16 p.m. on August 12, 2024, an employee working as a pipefitter for a building contractor was standing on a ladder in the rear section of a unit under construction. The employee was working on a 10-foot by 10-foot steel frame foundation. The front section of the unit accommodates the installation of electrical panels. The unit was free-standing after the temporary support welds were removed from a metal pallet for transporting and storing the heavy unit. As a result, the unit fell toward the ladder, pushed the employee over and landed on top of the employee crushing him. The employee died from crush injuries to his chest.

Incident on Jun 1, 2020: Employee fractures knee and ankle in crane accident
At 4:10 p.m. on June 1, 2020, a journeyman shipfitter (Coworker) was directed to move a steel plate that was located in a storage rack to a work table. Using a rigging clamp, the coworker stood on the elevated platform behind the storage rack so that he could attach the clamp to the steel plate. The production supervisor, Employee #1, came over and offered to help by taking the overhead crane controller that was located away from the storage rack. Employee #1 elevated the steel plate that was rigged to the overhead crane via a chain bridle and clamp. The steel plate was wedged between the other steel plates so there was not movement. Employee #1 came over and stood directly in front of the rack with the steel plate. Using the crane controller, Employee #1 lowered the clamp causing the chain bridle to catch on a corner on the steel plate. Standing in front of the rack with the steel plate, Employee #1 elevated the rig, causing the plate to flip forward and strike Employee #1. Employee #1 suffered a fractured knee and ankle, requiring hospitalization for more than 24-hours. The investigation revealed that Employee #1 was standing under a suspended load that he was controlling. Employee #1 should not have been in the zone of danger while the steel plate was being suspended by the overhead crane.
