Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200771418

Event: 09/25/2001

ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED PARTS

A power line worker was assigned to check on a power outage. He noticed that a 15-kilovolt cutout on a utility pole needed to be replaced. An energized part of the cutout was sitting on a transformer. The employee decided to remove the blown out part before covering up other live parts to remove the immediate hazard. As he removed this part, he apparently contacted energized parts and received an electric shock. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
