Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201342565
Event: 06/25/2002
Two Oil Well Employees Are Electrocuted by Power Line

Employees #1 and #2 were operating an oil well pulling/drilling unit (gin pole truck) to pull an oil well. After they finished pulling the well, Employee #1 got into the truck, moved it forward approximately 15 feet, and got out of truck. He went to the back of the truck to operate the winch and brake to start lowering the truck's boom. Employee #2 was pulling and holding on to the boom cables, to keep the tension on the cable, while the boom was being lowered to prevent the cables from becoming tangled in the winch. The boom was 3/4 of the way down into the cradle when the boom contacted a 7,200-volt overhead power line. Employees #1 and #2 were electrocuted.
