Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200840932
Event: 10/10/2003
Employee Is Electrocuted While Operating De-Lunper

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on October 10, 2003, an employee was operating a delumper and loading conveyor belt system at a fertilizer plant. When the system appeared clogged, the employee shut down the grinder motor, which had been running on a newly moved 480V electrical system. He then grabbed a hold of the flywheel to jog and clear the clog. When a coworker came around the hopper, he noticed that the employee was not moving. The coworker went to the breaker panel to shut down the conveyor motor. As he pulled the breaker handle, he received a shock. Upon shutting down the conveyor motor, the first employee released his hold on the flywheel and fell to the ground. The coworkers started cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene until the ambulance and paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead at Massac County hospital.
