  1. What safety rules were in place to prevent this type of accident?
  2. Did any such safety features fail?
  3. Was the tragedy a result of a catastrophic equipment malfunction?
  4. What was the condition of any machinery/equipment involved?
  5. Was the company or property owner aware of the potential safety risks to employees?
  6. If equipment or machinery were involved in the incident, were any attempts made to service, recall or replace any such machinery or equipment prior to the incident?
