Investigation Summary
Two power line workers were excavating for the installation of an underground power line. At the time of the accident, they were using a metal digging bar. The employees were not using insulation or other protective equipment, nor had they attempted to locate any existing power lines. The metal bar pierced a 7620-volt underground cable and caused an electrical fault. The employees were burned by the ensuing electric arc. One of them sustained burns to his arm, hands, and face. He was hospitalized for his injuries. The other employee sustained burns to his mouth and eyes.
