Damn, what a way to go.

[originalbuckeye]

I cannot imagine anything more painful.

[relictele]

Confucius say....absorbed in work etc.

I had a friend whose Dad ran a chrome plating plant and a similar incident occurred there.

[EdnaMode]

Poor guy.

[Carriage Hill]

I'm surprised that there was much left of him to get to a decon room and a hospital... 160° sulfuric acid?

[stormer]

I knew a guy that worked at a brewery and drowned in a big beer vat. When his wife asked if he suffered, they said they didn’t think so, cause he got out to go to the bathroom three times.

The company will be sued into near bankruptcy, and the work will be sent to China or Vietnam

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Thermal burns and chemical burns ... I can’t imagine how he must have died. Perhaps from shock, or heart attack; maybe even infection. It hardly bears thinking about.

MST management — “This was a serious industrial accident”

[dpetty121263]

A career ending move for sure...Knew a guy who was a tanker driver and he was transferring some chemical like this and hose blew dousing him...he lingered for 1 month and died a horrible death.

[Skooz]

Got some in my eyes one time. Burned like crazy.
But to be submerged in it. I can’t imagine.

Instead of lethal injections, they should have replaced ‘sparky’ with a big vat of sulfuric acid, a much more effective method for the death penalty.

"267 workdays 0 workdays without an accident."

[b4me]

prayers for his family.

my guess is as other FR mentioned heart attack and fell in or some thing along that line. Maybe some how medication or under influence of some thing that dulled his judgement and/or mobility?

[LeonardFMason]

Thankfully, there is likely a threshold of pain that would induce a loss of consciensness.

[taxcontrol]

Yep, that would do it.

[Kozak]

Thats gonna leave a mark.

[Blood of Tyrants]

described by MST management as a “serious industrial accident”

Ya think?

[dfwgator]

Man, I hate it when that happens.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The only thing worse would be if he had lived. It would have been hell.

I worked in an auto stamping plant in Detroit for almost 35 years and before and before OSHA and MIOSHA and subsequent lock out procedures were mandated, industrial accidents resulting in loss of limbs and even deaths were too common.

In the last 10 years of our company, we had one death at our Philadelphia plant and one at our Detroit plant. Both were a result of the employees ignoring the established safety procedures.

The Detroit death occurred when an electrician climbed a ladder at the back of the press shop to work on a control box about 20 ft. up on the wall and failed to lock out the overhead crane. He was hidden from the view of the crane operator on the shop floor who was moving a pallet of steel to the back of the shop. He was crushed against the wall by the crane.......

This was on a Saturday and it just happened that the plant safety manager was in the plant when call went out and he had to climb the ladder to get the employee down. The two had grown up together and were best of friends..........
