Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200966562

Event: 04/18/2001

Electric Shock - Contact with Overhead Line thru Bullfloat

The fourth floor decking of a building under construction had been installed, and the floor was ready to receive concrete. The concrete construction contractor started the pour around 9:00 am on the southwest side of the floor. About 30 minutes later, an employee began using a bull float to finish the concrete. The float assembly was constructed of aluminum and was approximately 0.9 to 1.2 meters wide. Its 5.5-meter-long aluminum handle was in three sections, each approximately 1.8 meters long. The employee positioned himself at the south end of the west side of the floor, almost in the corner. The bull float handle contacted a 69-kilovolt overhead power line, and the employee received an electric shock. He was hospitalized for 5 days for his injuries.
