More details have emerged as to how a 43-year-old contractor worker fell 25 ft to his death on March 8 at the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in Playa del Rey, Calif., but the incident remains under state investigation.
José Perez, an employee of Murray Co., a Rancho Dominguez, Calif., mechanical contractor working at the plant, “was in the process of securing a lid on top of a below-grade concrete tank and during that process [he] fell,” says Jim DeFlavio, company president and CEO.
