Titan Workers Electrocuted, Was Lock-out-tag-out being used?

Des Moines, Iowa - Two Titan Tire workers on Des Moines' east side were shocked with 480 volts of electricity, but survived. Names of the two workers weren't available. The description is they were walking on a catwalk about 20 feet above the floor when they were shocked or electrocuted. There is no indication of how it occurred and whether lock-out-tag-out procedures were being used at the time. Lockout/tagout is an important safety issue that I've covered in many posts. If you work around electrical equipment you'd be wise to spend some time getting familiar with what it is and how it should be used. Here are a few links to articles I've previously posted.

If you or an interested person are in a collision and you would like the crash analyzed you'll need to contact Attorney Lombardi. This may or may not result in an attorney-client relationship and simply asking for a review does not in and of itself create such a relationship. If you ask and Mr. Lombardi thinks you have a case he will say so and provide an agreement for representation that then creates an attorney-client relationship. The bottom line is that Mr. Lombardi has to agree to take you on as a client; the first step of course is asking him. You've got two ways: telephone 515-222-1110 or email sent to sdlombardi@aol.com.
