Sainte Genevieve Workplace Accident at Cement Plant Kills Man
According to this recent report, an Illinois man died from injuries he suffered in an accident at the Holcim, Inc., cement plant, Ste. Genevieve. The Ste. Genevieve County Coroner investigating the accident did not provide specific details about the nature of the accident, but it is not clear whether the cement plant employed the accident victim. He may have been working at the cement plant for an outside contractor when the workplace accident in Missouri occurred.
After the accident, emergency personnel transported the victim to a hospital in Festus and then airlifted to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis where he died of his injuries. Law enforcement officials said that they are awaiting the autopsy results before determining any possible charges in the fatality.
Inadequate safety measures, poor supervision, insufficient safety training, or shortcuts taken to expedite completion of a project all can cause Missouri workplace accidents, often resulting in very serious injuries or even death. Workplace accident victims often must contend with catastrophic medical bills, loss of income, and insurance companies that may try to pressure them into signing documents that they do not fully understand.
