Investigation Summary
On August 22, 2003, Employee #1, a laborer, was instructed by his foreman to cut into a 3 in. thick PVC conduit so that a branch conduit could be installed. He had hand-sawed 2 in. into the conduit when he contacted an energized, 21 kilovolt conductor. The conductor shorted, causing an arc blast that was contained by the PVC conduit. Employee #1 sustained first-degree burns from the electric shock. He was transported to Valley Medical Center in Pleasanton, CA, where he was treated and released. The employer was cited for serious violations of T8CCR 2940(b), T8CCR 2940(c), and T8CCR 2940.6(a)(1).
