Investigation Summary
At 12:45 p.m. on July 3, 2023, an employee climbed down a fixed ladder within a manhole structure to retrieve a stuck tool caught on a ladder rung. As the employee began to climb out of the manhole opening, the employee lost consciousness and fell approximately 30 feet to the bottom of the manhole. The employee died as a result of toxic, fatal levels of hydrogen sulfide gas exposure and blunt force injuries to the head, resulting from the fall.
