HOLLAND, Mich. — A construction worker at a Holland chemical plant has died after being hit in the head Friday.
The Holland Department of Public Safety (HDPS) says the incident happened at around noon at LG Chem on Sept. 15.
We’re told the worker, a 41-year-old Louisiana man, was at the construction site when a plate broke off a pipe and broke his hard hat. The pipe was being pressurized for testing purposes at the time, according to HDPS. The plate detached when the pressure was released.
The worker suffered serious injuries, public safety officials say. He was taken to Holland Hospital afterward. MiOSHA says he has since passed away.
The incident was reportedly forwarded to MiOSHA for investigation.
