ELECTRIC SHOCK - CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE THRU BOOM

An employee was holding a steel braided rubber hose suspended by the boom of a concrete pumping truck. The truck was pumping concrete for a foundation. The operator of the concrete truck swung the boom into a temporary 7600-volt overhead power line. The employee holding the hose received an electric shock and went into cardiac arrest. Other onsite employees administered cardio-pulmonary resuscitation until emergency medical services arrived. A helicopter transported the injured employee to a hospital. He slipped into a coma and was placed on a respirator. A few days after the accident, he came out of the coma. At the time this abstract was written, the injured employee was listed in fair condition with cardiac damage.
