Investigation Summary
At 9:00 p.m. on July 18, 2017, an employee was using a grinder to remove a bolt from a flange connecting two sections of a wind tower. As the bolt loosened, the sections separated. The support trunnion slid out from under one section, which tipped on one end. The employee was crushed between the two sections, sustaining injuries to his abdomen and pelvis. The employee was hospitalized for his injuries.
