Rob Nuckols, 51, was working on the ground floor Monday morning at Swepco Tube LLC when his colleague Martin Davis plunged through a roof and into the vat of diluted acid and became fully submerged, officials said.
He jumped into the vat and was waist-high while he and three others pulled Davis out, Clifton Fire Chief Vince Colavitti
told The Record of Woodland Park. The vat
contained a 40 to 70 percent nitric acid solution used for cleaning
metal tubing.

Ten bucks on a dollar the guy who went into the acid to save his co- worker gets some sort of fine from OSHA.
no doubt Osha will get involved and if they are anything near as bad as Mosha you can bet the rest of your money that the will inspect the entire operation and fine them for things only MOSHA can imagine or dream up.
