Fall from height
is a hazard all workplaces identify as a serious hazard. Here is a recent
incident that hopefully will be used at workplaces to emphasize the seriousness
of this hazard.
The County Coroner’s
Office has identified a man who died after a fall at a smelter in (location
omitted) one day in September 2024.
According to the coroner, a
61-year-old worker, an employee at the facility, fell approximately 15 feet
while on the job.
McCoy was taken to a local
hospital by EMS, where he later succumbed to traumatic injuries.
The County EMS and (local)
Fire Department responded to the incident.
The County Coroner’s
Office and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are
investigating the accident.
We pray for the
deceased worker’s family, friends, and coworkers.
Please comment.
