Water storage reservoir fatality

Published on 03/04/25 341 Views

A worker lost his life while working around a water storage reservoir. The worker was working alone at the time of the event. It is believed that the worker was attempting to collect a water sample from a lined water storage reservoir when they fell into the water. The worker was unable to exit the water and drowned as a result.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
