PLEASE BE AWARE & BE SAFE
ACTIVITY: The crew was working on a solar project.
INCIDENT SUMMARY: A local flagging contractor experienced a terrible incident where a random stranger driving by the job site offered two flaggers bottled water due to the high heat temperatures. Apparently, the water bottles given to the flaggers were laced with Fentanyl.
STATUS: Sadly, one of the flaggers died and the other is in critical condition after ingesting the water.
POTENTIAL MITIGATION(S):
• Provide the entire crew with an adequate amount of water and shade options, especially when the temperatures are high.
• Advise employees to not accept any outside liquids, food, or any other items from strangers to ensure their own safety from outside hazards or contaminants.
