Investigation Summary
At 3:45 p.m. on July 30,2020, an employee was operating a Liebherr excavator, model A924C, that had been retooled specifically to hoist; move; and place material, essentially becoming a material handler. The employee was loading scrap material into a drive-off tractor trailer when the scrap load swung into the power invertor box causing the cab to become electrified and shocking the employee. The excavator was equipped with a rolling chassis; a grapple hook; and a magnetic attachment. During the loading of material/scrap, the grapple hook contacted the magnetic power invertor box causing the cab to become electrified. The employee sustained electrical shock injuries including nerve damage and blurred vision and was hospitalized. The weather at the time of the injury was clear with a 90 degree F temperature with a slight west wind.
