Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on September 8, 2015, an employee and a coworker were inside an open excavation installing steel casing for a boring operation. The casing pipe was set in the excavation by a truck crane. The employee was attempting to line up a steel casing pipe in an excavation. The casing pipe was laid in place; however, the employee and the coworker were not able to remove the lifting strap. The workers got another strap in order to lift the pipe to remove the other strap. The employee called for the crane to hook up the strap. The cable of the crane made contact with the overhead power lines, electrocuting the employee.
