Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:10 p.m. on September 19, 2007, Employee #1 was inserting rebar into 8 in. concrete blocks for reinforcement when the rebar he was holding contacted high voltage power lines. He received an electric shock and then fell from where he was working. Employee #1 was electrocuted. Although the company had a written safety program, further investigation revealed that Employee #1 had not been provided training to recognize unsafe conditions or practices in relation to overhead power lines. The company also did not contact the utility company to deenergize the power lines or insulate them from contact when it was reasonably predictable that employees might be exposed to electric shock or burns. Employee #1 was wearing safety goggles and safety shoes at the time of the accident.
