Investigation Summary
At 3:45 p.m. on August 23, 2023, an employee was inspecting the flop gate on a feed bin of a FeSi electric arc furnace that was not functioning properly. The employee went to a winch room above the furnace and climbed onto a platform above the furnace and over the guard rails onto the top of the bin. The employee asked their coworkers to activate the flop gate and was crushed when the machine parts activated. The employee was killed as a result of rib fractures, contusions, and internal bleeding.
