Abstract: An employee at a pre-mix concrete plant was using a jackhammer and water hoses to remove a build up of concrete from the inside of a mixing drum. He was standing in the drum's steel chute, putting a drop light into the drum. As he was doing this, he was electrocuted, apparently by a ground fault in the portable light or by a bare spot on the light's cord.
