OLYMPIA -- Washington's Department of Labor & Industries has issued three citations to an electrical contractor after the death of an employee March 1 at an electrical substation at Hanford.
Kelly Loyd, 47, of Castle Rock, was injured while loading a Bobcat with a backhoe onto a trailer at a Bonneville Power Administration substation. He later died at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland.
Last week, L&I issued three serious violations to Christenson Electric Inc. of Portland, which was doing excavation work with a BPA crew at the White Bluffs substation.
The company was fined $2,700, or $900 each, for the violations. It has 15 working days to appeal the citations, said L&I spokesman Hector Castro.
