In Baraboo, Wisconsin, a water tank worker was injured while workers were cleaning and painting the water tank. I don’t have a name yet but he was rushed to the hospital immediately after the accident. So far he is alive. He appears to have been one of the painters but no confirmation at this point. New links below. OSHA will investigate this incident!
Word is that he fell about 70 feet from the stem of the water tank, the assumption is that he was inside when he fell but I am waiting on more facts to back that up.

On Friday, October 24th, 2014. Two men were Sand Blasting a water tower in Butler County, Ohio, when the scaffolding collapsed, they were painters working the tower. This was a scaffolding accident and these guys were painters working on the water tank. They were about 100’ up in the air when this happened. The water tank was surrounded by scaffolding and was covered with tarps to prevent the sand and paint from blowing too far. Both men worked for a painting company.
The two were contracted by Southwest Regional Water District through Farmington Hills, Michigan based V&T Painting LLC.
I hesitated to report this because they were not communication workers although it was a terrible accident while working at height, and their families have my deepest sympathies. They were painters. This was a scaffolding accident, OSHA is investigating. I had so many questions on this that I thought I would send out something.
