I have seen most of these thanks to the internet. Do you think pic#5 in the first post is a utility woker with a nomex hood and PPE under a 1500lb. rock

Mittal (formerly Inland) Steel Plant #2, East Chicago, Ill. I worked there for 10 days and one employee was killed at the plant while I was there, another was blown out of his seat in a crane cab by molten steel hitting water in a 200 ton ladle and another from Local 697 was killed on another job replacing stolen bare copper grounding cable.

I felt like kissing the ground when I got back to my hometown in Muskegon, Michigan.

2 fatalities in 10 days?????

Why do I count three?

He didn't specify if the one who got blown out of the crane died or not. Either way, it sounds like OSHA has a permanent office set up there.

The crane guy was OK. The cab had it's windows blown out though.

OSHA and any inspector for that matter are no where to be seen.

Edit: The guy repairing the ground wire was not at the plant, just in the same county working for the same local.

I know that plant well, all steel mills are scary places like that. East Chicago is a safety mecca compared to Rouge in Detroit.

Thanks for the head's up!

FWIW that picture was on the wall in the BOF toward the north end of the building just as you come out to where the Q-cars stop to pour.
