Investigation Summary
At 3:00 p.m. on May 16, 2023, an employee working as a supervisor for an oil and gas drilling company was operating a powered industrial truck (PIT). The employee was using the PIT boom to reposition a pipe which had been removed from a tank battery. The employee raised the boom and made contact with live power lines. The employee exited the energized PIT and tried to extinguish the flames under the vehicle. The employee died when he was electrocuted by a resulting arc flash.
