A fatal incident occurred at the Amin (Nimr) Steam Pilot project site on Thursday 20th September, 2012 at an approximate time of 14:10 hrs. The deceased is a 32 year old Indian helper working for Al Turki Enterprises (ATE), a PDO contractor.

An ATE mechanical crew was using a 25 ton crane to lift pipe sleeves. During the lifting operation, the deceased went to fetch slings from the cranes tool box located above the cranes battery. The contents of the box cannot be accessed from ground level so he stood on the outrigger and reached over. In doing so he placed himself in the arc path taken by the cranes counter weight which as it rotated, crushed the deceased against the toolbox.

He immediately fell unconscious and was brought to STS camp clinic in Amal. The doctor gave him CPR but could not revive him and at 15:15 hrs he was declared dead.
