Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Michigan: Farmer Died When Electrocuted While Welding Feed Bunker Wagon.

摘要

On August 6, 2003, a 44-year-old male farmer was welding a feed bunker wagon when he was electrocuted. Michigan Fatality Assessment and Face Evaluation (MIFACE) learned of this incident from a newspaper clipping. On May 24, 2004, MIFACE researchers interviewed the deceased's caretaker and a family friend at the caretaker's home. After the interview, the caretaker escorted the MIFACE researchers to the deceased's residence and site of the fatal injury. MIFACE researchers were able to view both the welder and feed bunker wagon. The welding cables and leads had been previously removed from the shed. During the course of writing this report, the medical examiner's report, death certificate, police department report and pictures were obtained. MIFACE was unable to interview the individual who discovered the victim. The pictures were taken at the scene by the responding police agency.
