Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:55 p.m. on March 1, 2006, Employee #1, a field foreman, and a coworker were installing "stub-outs" as part of putting in the second of two 90 degree elbows into the energized front of a pad-mounted transformer. Employee #1 made contact with the spade connector on the transformer and was shocked. Employee #1 was transported to UCLA Medical Center, where he later died. Upon further investigation, it was determined that measures were not taken to prevent accidental contact with live electrical equipment. The employer was cited for an accident-related violation, serious, of T8CCR 2320.2(a).
