Investigation Summary
Two employees were moving a manhole into place. One of them, a backhoe operator, brought the boom of his backhoe into contact with a 7200-volt single-phase overhead power line. The other employee, a laborer, grabbed a chain supported by the backhoe so that he could attach it to the manhole. The laborer received an electric shock. The operator moved the backhoe away from the power line and went to assist the laborer. The operator also received an electric shock, so he returned to the backhoe and moved it further from the power line. His rescue efforts were to no avail however. The laborer had been electrocuted.
