Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on August 1, 2019, an employee worked with two coworkers to replace damaged utility poles and repair telecommunication lines. The employee used a vehicle mounted work platform to reach the location to conduct repairs while coworker 1 operated a digger derrick and coworker 2 acted as the grounds man. Upon reaching the work, the employee began to detach the sagging neutral circuit conductor and used mule tape to move the conductor out of the way of the location where the telecommunication cable would be installed. At some point, the employee's left hand contacted the seventy-two-hundred-volt primary line, and an arc flash occurred. The employee was hospitalized to treat electrical shock and burn injuries received.
