The fatality at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory on February 20, 1996, resulted from failures of Department of Energy (DOE), contractor, and subcontractor management, and the accident victim. The subcontractor, the employer of the accident victim, had a poor record of serious safety deficiencies and had never accepted the higher levels of safety performance required by the Department’s safe work ethic.
