TWO EMPLOYEES HAD BEEN HIRED AS SUMMER HELP TO BUILD A HORSE CORRAL AND TO DO YARD AND GARDEN WORK. ONE MORNING, THE EMPLOYEES WERE CLEANING AROUND THE CORRAL--REMOVING SCRAPS OF WOOD POSTS, ROLLING UP BARBED WIRE, AND MOVING AN IRRIGATION PIPE. (THE CORRAL WAS AT THE EDGE OF THE EMPLOYER'S PROPERTY, AND THE EMPLOYEES WERE ACTUALLY CLEANING THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER'S LAND.) ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES LIFTED THE IRRIGATION PIPE, AND IT EITHER CONTACTED OR CAME TOO CLOSE TO A 7200-VOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE. THE EMPLOYEE WAS ELECTROCUTED.
