Investigation Summary
Some employees were operating a Gardner Denver HydraTrac rock-drilling machine (Model No. HD-HF-22, Serial No. 8 72-2F0-8). A 7620-volt overhead power line was located 9.9 meters from the ground at the drilling site. The employees had drilled 14 holes, which were to be loaded with dynamite. They were moving the rock-drilling machine. One employee was standing on the damp, wet ground, using the front controls to raise and lower the boom and drill. As they were moving the drilling machine, its boom contacted the power line, electrocuting the employee at the controls.
