Injured SRS Worker Released from Hospital

By ExchangeMonitor

A Savannah River Site subcontractor employee who was struck by a slow-moving truck and injured Wednesday in a laydown yard near the site’s B Area was released from the hospital on Friday and is recovering at home, the subcontracting company’s president told Weapons Complex Morning Briefing yesterday. “We’re waiting for SRS’ investigation to be completed and their press release,” said Grade South President Scott Stevens. “The only information we’re giving out at this time is the injured employee is at home now recovering.”

Stevens declined to release the employee’s name, but the worker has been identified as a male who did carpentry for Grade South, a subcontractor for SRS liquid waste prime contractor Savannah River Remediation. Stevens said the employee will be back at work “as soon as possible,” but as of yet there is no expected date for his return. Stevens said any preventive actions to be taken by Grade South would follow the completion of the Energy Department’s ongoing fact-finding investigation of the incident.
