Investigation Summary
Two employees were on the catwalk of a 23-metric ton, top-running, double-girder overhead bridge crane made by DEMAG (Serial Number 94156). They were repairing a radio transmitter-receiver for the crane's remote control system (Remtron Model Number 25S11A). One employee was sitting in front of the crane's bridge control cabinet, tracing and testing the function of conductors for the crane. The second employee was in front of the crane's hoist control cabinet. The employee checking the wiring was sweating profusely from the heat as he worked in the energized 480-volt cabinet. He grabbed a 120-volt conductor with needlenose pliers. A portion of the plastic coating on the handle of the pliers was missing, and the employee was electrocuted. The second employee received an electric shock when he removed the first employee from the circuit. The first employee was pronounced dead at the North Vista Hospital. (The employee who received an electric shock was not listed on an injury line on the original form.)
