JLG strikes NH3 pipe leading to a fatality

Workers were weatherproofing the outer layer of a large ammonia storage tank when contractor-operated equipment struck a bleed pipe, causing an unplanned release of ammonia. Two (2) workers were exposed to ammonia, one worker suffering fatal injury and the other worker suffering minor injuries.

NOTE: Another case of an EEBA not working because it was NOT on the person, but in the JLG lift basket.
