Amesbury, MA- Firefighters responded to a concrete plant in Amesbury, Massachusetts last Monday afternoon after receiving a report that one of the workers was critically hurt in an industrial accident, according to Amesbury Fire. The plant, E.F. Shea, has been in operation for 75 years and is a manufacturer of precast concrete products.
At about 2 pm, fire personnel arrived at the scene and worked to extricate the injured man from a walkway that was 15-20 ft high.The fire department said removing the worker from the height was difficult because firefighters firstly needed to stabilize him.
The man sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported by helicopter to an area hospital to receive treatment. Amesbury Fire said an investigation has been opened by the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). No other details are available from OSHA nor local reporting at press time.
As many workers over the last weeks have begun to return to work in the time of COVID-19, Martin Technical encourages all forms of safety and prevention to be taken seriously, whether it is an injury or an illness.
