Investigation Summary
On April 27, 2006, Employee #1 was repairing a flexible power cable, which had been placed across a wooden service road that led into a rig area. The cable was damaged after a truck ran over the wood protecting it was dislodged. There were two cables running from the rig house and crossed the wooden slat drive to a trailer and transformer. One of the cords supplied power to a voltage transformer, which operated five trailers and a portable restroom. The other flexible cord carried and supplied power to the mud engineer's trailer. A coworker plugged in and energized the incorrect circuit while Employee #1 was holding the a damaged portion of the flexible cable. Electricity ran through the cable and electrocuted him.
