Investigation Summary
An installer for an irrigation firm was tracing an underground power line leading from one parking lot light pole to another in preparation for installing an automatic sprinkler system at an occupational medicine clinic. He removed the coils from the base of one light pole and started to read a paper tag wrapped around a conductor. The tag described which pole was next in the series. As he touched the tag, he received an electric shock, which arrested his breathing and his heart. The job supervisor was able to knock the employee from the pole. Nurses at the site were able to resuscitate the employee, and he was hospitalized for his injury. He had been performing his work for about 3 years. He was not wearing any personal protective equipment.
