Investigation Summary
On June 5, 2006, Employee #1, who worked for a repairer and installer of high-voltage equipment and power lines, was changing 60-kilovolt-ampere conductors from an old pole to a new pole at a site in Richgrove, CA. He was touching a "dead" conductor when he decided to check the tension of the guy for the new pole. The potential energy from surrounding conductors energized the "dead" conductor and he received a shock when he touched the guy. Employee #1 sustained burns to both hands and he was transported to UMC Hospital in Fresno, CA, for treatment.
