Investigation Summary
A POWER LINE CREW FOR AN ELECTRIC UTILITY WAS FILLING A TRAILER-MOUNTED WATER TANK USED IN PRESSURE WASHING ELECTRICAL INSULATORS. ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES ON THE CREW CLIMBED UP THE STEPS AND RUNGS MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF THE TANK FOR ACCESS TO THE TOP COVER. HE OPENED THE COVER AND INSERTED AN OVERHEAD WATER SPOUT. WHILE THE TANK WAS FILLING WITH WATER, THE EMPLOYEE STOOD ATOP THE TANK. THE TANK FILLED COMPLETELY; AND, BEFORE THE WATER COULD BE TURNED OFF, THE SPOUT FLEW OUT OF THE TANK OPENING, SPRAYING WATER EVERYWHERE. THE EMPLOYEE TOOK A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK AND FELL FROM THE TANK TO THE GROUND, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 8 FEET. HIS COWORKERS GAVE HIM FIRST AID UNTIL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL ARRIVED. THE EMPLOYEE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR SEVERAL BROKEN RIBS AND A HEAD INJURY.
