Investigation Summary
An employee was replacing an electric service. He was using a metal utility knife to cut through insulation on a deenergized 2400-volt conductor. The knife contacted an energized part and a grounded surface at the same time, causing an electrical fault. The employee received first- and second-degree burns over 60 percent of his body from the ensuing electric arc. He died from his injuries.
