OSHA issues PRCS citations @ transformer manufacturer ($43K; 2 fatalities – 1 entrant and 2 “would be rescuers”)

Many of you that followed my incident alerts may remember the transformer manufacturer that had a fatal PRCS accident that killed two workers and left a third injured back at the end of 2015. The three people were working on a transformer in the plant and were found unresponsive. Unofficial sources said the transformer was an 8×12 unit. The Sheriff’s office investigating said the first person was working inside the transformer and became unresponsive. The second and third workers entered the transformer to help the first worker and then became unresponsive. Two of the workers were pronounced dead. The third worker was taken to the hospital. OSHA has now issued their seven (7) serious citations ALL related to 1910.146
