On occasion the Aluminium Plant Safety Blog will be made aware of
an incident that has little to no information. We are conflicted on whether or
not we should post this incident because the news media article lists little
information. We decided to post anyway and will update this story when more
information comes available.
A worker at an aluminium casting business died one day during the
week of January 24, 2016 after a suspected workplace accident.
The local
police chief said in a news release that officers were called at 2:27 p.m. to the
business for a workplace incident.
“Preliminary indications
are that this may be an industrial accident,” the release states.
The incident is under
investigation by the local police, and the local County Medical Examiner’s
Office and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The foundry produces
medium- to small-volume aluminum castings in sand and permanent molds.
The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog offers our sincere condolences to
the deceased worker’s family, friends and coworkers. It appears that this
worker worked with family members at this foundry. We wonder if that is why
there is no information in the news media article. Regardless, we acknowledge
the pain and suffering the family is experiencing. We hope in the near future
that information on what happened, what hazard, the circumstances regarding the
incident will be released. Because it our sincere hope that whatever occurred
in this incident never be reproduced at another plant.
Please comment.
