Investigation Summary
On September 11, 2007, Employee #1 was as an equipment operator at a waste transfer station. He had removed the fuel cap on the Caterpillar front end loader he was operating, to fuel up the equipment using an on-site diesel tank with an installed electrically-operated fuel pump. The pump was energized by a flexible cord wired into a circuit breaker box on the site. Evidence suggested that Employee #1 made contact with an exposed energized conductor in the flexible cord, operating at 120 volts AC, with his forearm, based on an electrical burn at this location on his body. A burn abrasion on Employee #1's chest indicated that he leaned against a grounded surface, such as the tank containment or the front end loader which completed an electrical path to ground. Employee #1 was discovered by the employer lying on the ground between the front end loader and the diesel tank. Employee #1 was electrocuted.
