Investigations into death at dam prompt policy changes By Crysta Parkinson, The Star of Grand Coulee, WA
A second report was written by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local #77 Accident Investigator Mark Wilson.
'This accident could have been prevented had the Bureau enforced their clearance procedures, or had the contractor known the parameters of his clearance area, had he waited until clearance was actually signed off by both parties,' Wilson wrote. 'Had he simply verified that his work area was opened, tested, and grounded, this...fatal accident could have been avoided.'
