Seattle worker dies at glass plant

The Seattle Times reported that on November 20, 2008 a woman was electrocuted while working at a Seattle glass container manufacturer, Saint-Gobain Containers.  The state Department of Labor and Industries and the King County Medical Examiner's Office are investigating the death of the woman.

According to their website, Saint-Gobain Containers is a leading producer of glass packaging for the food and beverage industries.  Glass packaging is their only product.

The Department of L & I is investigating the fatal injury accident and death of the worker since she was on the job at the time.  The questions is whether a defective product was to blame causing the electrocution, or lack of proper training and supervision of the worker.
