1 dead at GE Energy plant in West Mifflin

A man was killed while working at the GE Energy plant in West Mifflin on Thursday morning.

Allegheny County 911 said emergency crews were called to the facility on Buttermilk Hollow Road at about 8:45 a.m. for a report of an injury that involved some machinery.

Spokesman Sean Gannon says the person worked for a? contractor who was doing maintenance at GE's Pittsburgh Servicing Center.

The victim has not been publicly identified yet, and GE has not said how he was killed.

"GE is aware of the situation at the Pittsburgh Service Center, and the entire GE family extends its sympathies to those impacted," the company said in a written statement. "We are working to gather all of the facts in this situation, however at this point we do know a male contractor working for GE did unfortunately pass away on-site this morning. We are working with the appropriate authorities as required to assess the situation. Our primary concern is ensuring the safety and security of our employees, as well as others on-site."
