Investigation Summary
A shop worker was informed by a coworker that he was receiving electric shocks from a material scoop. The scoop, which weighed 907 kilograms, had been sitting on two 76-millimeter by 76-millimeter by 914-millimeter wooden blocks for about 24 hours. A metal strap on the scoop had cut into a cable and was touching a conductor inside the cable. This had energized the metal scoop. The shop worker went to the material scoop and put his left hand on the scoop and his right on a grounded welding rod oven. He was electrocuted. (The coworker, who also received an electric shock, was not listed on an injury line on the original form.)
