Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on December 23, 2003, Employees #1 and a trackhoe operator were installing sheet pilings in a 9-foot-deep hole that was dug for a manhole in a sewerline. The pilings were to protect the employees from cave-ins. Initially, the operator would hold up each piling with the trackhoe bucket, while Employee #1 put it into place. Then, the trackhoe would be used to push the piling into the mud. As the operator maneuvered the trackhoe to get it into position, the bucket came into contact with a high power line that contained 7,620 volts. Employee #1 came into contact with the sheet piling and was electrocuted.
