The 37-year-old Newark man was employed by Allied Painting out of Cherry Hill, authorities said.
DENVILLE -- Police have identified the painter who died after falling from a municipal water tower on Monday.
Adilson Vozniak, 37, of Newark, was sandblasting and painting the tower with a crew in the woods behind Morris Knolls High School when he fell about 40 to 50 feet from the tower, Capt. Paul Nigro said. The tower is located about a half-mile in the woods behind the high school, Nigro said.
He was taken to Saint Clare's Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Vozniak was employed by Allied Painting Inc., based out of Cherry Hill, according to Joanna Hawkins, a spokeswoman for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Allied Painting has been cited by OSHA on multiple occasions for serious safety lapses including fall-related accidents. A call placed to Allied Painting Tuesday morning hasn't yet been returned.
Both the Denville police and OSHA are investigating.
