Investigation Summary
At 8:15 a.m. on September 15, 2020, an employee, who was working on the ground, was closing a chain around a K-rail for the Caterpillar 326F long reach excavator to move the K-rail to another position. The excavator came into contact with and cut the overhead power lines, causing the serious electrical injuries to the employee. Fountain Valley Fire Department was called and performed CPR and then transported the employee to Fountain Valley Regional Hospital. The employee remained in the hospital for a week before going home. The danger from accidental contact with the energized high voltage lines above was not effectively guarded against.
