Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 948893
Event: 09/16/1998
ELECTRIC SHOCK - CONTACT WITH LIVE CONDUCTOR THRU FISH TAPE

An electrician was using a 3-millimeter-wide metal fish tape to pull eight No. 14 conductors through a 152-millimeter-square metal electrical duct. The duct enclosed about 75 existing energized conductors. The employee had pulled the new conductors about 9 meters when he encountered some resistance. Electrical tape had been wrapped around five of the existing conductors, and the fish tape got caught on the electrical tape. When the employee tried to free the fish tape, it cut into a 227-volt conductor, and he was electrocuted.
