Investigation Summary
On October 15, 2002, Employee #1 and a coworker were leveling an excavation to the top of a concrete-encased duct-bank. The duct-bank was below ground and had been almost uncovered, and only a thin covering of dirt had been left on top of it. Employee #1 was using a two-handed chipping hammer with a 12 in. drill bit to knock off some concrete from the exterior of the duct-bank when the steel bit penetrated the concrete casing and contacted the 15-kilovolt circuit inside of it. He was electrocuted.
