Investigation Summary
AN EMPLOYEE WAS WASHING DRIP PANS AFTER THE REMOVAL OF A DIAPHRAGM CELL FROM A DIAPHRAGM CIRCUIT. THE GRATING ON THE WASH WATER TRENCH COLLAPSED, AND THE EMPLOYEE'S LEFT FOOT WENT INTO THE 36-INCH-DEEP-BY-32-INCH-WIDE TRENCH. THIS CAUSED HIM TO LOSE HIS BALANCE. THE EMPLOYEE FELL; AND, IN FALLING, HIS LEFT ARM CONTACTED THE ENERGIZED DIAPHRAGM. THE EMPLOYEE WAS ELECTROCUTED.
