A construction worker suffered a fatal fall Friday afternoon at the Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring, Texas, according to a news report from the Houston Chronicle<\/a>. Workers had been adding a slide at the popular water park, and the worker accidentally fell from a structure, authorities reported.<\/p>\n

The victim was an employee of Trevino Industries, a metal fabrication company, according to a statement from Six Flags. Splashtown, which is in the 21300 block of the North Freeway, is currently closed, with plans to reopen in May once renovations are complete. The park was formerly known as Wet \u2019n\u2019 Wild Splashtown.<\/p>\n

Texas Is No Stranger to Fatal Workplace Accidents<\/h2>\n

Hundreds of innocent workers die each year in Texas in on-the-job accidents, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>. In 2017, more than a third of all work-related deaths in Texas were in the construction, extraction, installation, maintenance, and repair occupations.<\/p>\n

Although construction work can be dangerous, employers have a duty to properly train workers and provide proper safety equipment. No worker should be subject to injury on the job, and no family should have to suffer the tragic loss of a loved one in a fatal workplace accident.<\/p>\n
