During work at a hydro site, an access hole had been left open while guiding a headcover into the turbine pit. A contractor noticed that a cardboard sheet had become dislodged from an above stator cooler and fallen over the access hole. If someone had stepped on the cardboard they would have fallen 1-1.5 meters into the concrete access way.
