Investigation Summary
AN EMPLOYEE WAS IN A 37-INCH DEEP TRENCH USING A JACKHAMMER (AMERICAN MODEL #SKH 6825) TO KNOCK AN OPENING INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE WALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF A PHONE VAULT, BUT IT WAS INSTEAD A CONCRETE ENCASEMENT FOR SOME 240-VOLT ELECTRIC CONDUCTORS FROM AN ADJACENT ELECTRICAL VAULT. THE BIT OF THE JACKHAMMER MADE CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE CONDUCTORS, AND THE EMPLOYEE WAS ELECTROCUTED. TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES SAW HIM LYING IN THE TRENCH AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL HIM OUT. WHEN THEY DID THIS, THEY RECEIVED MINOR SHOCKS. THE EMPLOYEES KNEW THE ELECTRIC LINES WERE PRESENT, BUT DID NOT KNOW THE DEPTH OF THE LINES.
