Investigation Summary
Two city workers were assigned to replace a streetlight fuse in an underground manhole. When the employees arrived at the worksite, they monitored the manhole's air quality for about 5 minutes before one of them entered. His coworker stood above the manhole opening while he replaced the fuse on a streetlight contactor. When the employee closed the contactor, an explosion occurred. A natural gas leak had created a flammable atmosphere inside the manhole. Both employees received second-degree burns and were hospitalized for their injuries.
