Fatality #28 - December 11, 2008

On December 11, 2008, at approximately 3:40 p.m., Timothy Albright, a contract electrician helper, received fatal injuries while operating a man-lift between the 4th and 5th floors of the Warrior Preparation Plant. The plant was under construction at the time. The victim had been pulling and strapping metal-clad cable that was to be wired to equipment on the 5th floor. The platform of the lift was positioned between two horizontal beams which placed the platform inside the plant. The platform of the lift became caught on the lower beam. The platform was dislodged when the victim attempted to move the platform. A sudden and violent movement of the platform caused him to strike his head resulting in fatal injuries.
