Event: 09/13/2006
One Employee Is Killed, One Is Injured by Electrical Shock

On September 13, 2006, a five-man crew was surveying an area. Two employees in the crew were cutting a line (clearing the line of sight), for surveying from point to point. Employee #1 was using a machete to cut down a stalk of bamboo, at an area off the paved roadway, across a ditch, and on the far side of a barbed wire fence. The bamboo stalk was 30 feet, 3 inches high. Power lines ran along the same side of the road, next to the barbed wire fence and the bamboo. The power lines were 27 feet, 5 inches high. When Employee #1 cut the bamboo, he was still holding the stalk as it fell into the power lines. Employee #1 received an electrical shock, which killed him. Employee #2 was working behind Employee #1 and reached out to help Employee #1 when he called out. Employee #2 received an electrical shock; he was treated and released.
