Investigation Summary
On November 14, 2007, Employee #1 and his coworkers, of an irrigation systems repair and supply company, were removing a pump from an existing agricultural irrigation water well. While raising the boom of the well servicing rig, it contacted a 12.5-kilovolt overhead power line supplying an oil field pump-jack. The initial contact did not shock the employees. However, when Employee #1 returned to the vehicle to lower the boom, he was severely burned and electrocuted.
