An inspector from the Labor Department said Joshua Farrell was dealing with a problem with the narrow working space and defective equipment, and then electrocuted his death while welding at the flareboro limestone plant.
Inspector who investigated workplace deaths Rick shulister testified Tuesday in the Norfolk County men\'s death investigation.
Farrell, 29, works for Carmeuse Ltd.
On June 25, 2014, the limestone plant on the limestone stone quarry on Highway 5 near the south of Ofield Road.
The father of the two children worked at Simcoe company Rassaun Steel, which signed a contract at Carmeuse to reinforce the huge metal box used at its limestone \"Pulverizer\" plant.
Farrell is melting the metal plate to the outside bottom of the trash can while squeezing between the trash can and a large pipe.
Shulister said Farrell had to walk off space and his feet would be placed on a high beam next to the bin. A co-
Later, the worker found out that he was sticking out of his neck with a welding rod for welding, and he fell over the pipe and did not respond.
\"There is a depth of 26 inch from his back to the welded surface,\" Schulster said \".
Pathologist has confirmed that Farrell is six years old. foot-
1 pound and 220 pound, very developed muscles.
\"He\'s in there, there\'s no ventilation . . . . . . This is a very hot place.
One of the kilns is still working and the area is above the kiln.
\"He said it was covered with dust and the light was very poor.
Prior to joining the ministry, licensed electrician shulister, who has been working for 22 years, said that one can see that welding is difficult because \"Usually the welding feed is a consistent one
Here you can see the small ball welded . . . . . . This is an electrode (welding rod)
Maybe stuck, you have to take it out of the metal.
\"Farrell\'s equipment includes a welder, a cable that delivers power to the electrode, and the part in which the electrode welding rod is connected to receive current.
Shulist pointed out the electrical problem of the welder and said 20-
The length of the cable is too long, and the distance of the clamp is too far away from Farrell.
All the questions.
There are electrical conductors around Farrell-
Metal boxes, scaffolding and foil covering pipes, he said.
\"All the things he\'s sitting on are going back (For the current\"Said shulister.
\"In this case, workers can be part of this road, causing electric shock.
He became part of a road because of time constraints.
\"Farrell was also wet with sweat because of working conditions.
It was a very hot day, \"said Schulster,\" we discharge sodium, which is a conductor (of electricity).
\"The testimony of shulister raised objections from Sheryl Edwards, a lawyer representing Rassaun.
She said that all of the contents of schulester\'s testimony were not in his investigation report and that he appeared to have provided expert testimony in error.
This prompted Dr. coroner.
James Kovacs reminded the investigating jury that the purpose of the investigation was not to find errors, but to find out how death occurred and to suggest how similar deaths could be prevented in the future.
Kovacs also said that although shulister was not legally qualified to be an expert, he was an investigator at the Department of Labor and, therefore, expected him to \"have a certain level of knowledge \".
The schulester testimony was relevant and acceptable, he said.
