Investigation Summary
At 9:30 p.m. on July 24, 2016, an employee was preparing to connect a residential drop cable to a transformer. At some point, the employee made contact with the secondary bushings resulting in an electric shock. A journeyman located in an adjacent yard observed the employee slumped over the transformer and went over the fence to remove the employee from the 240 volt transformer. The employee was transported to the hospital where he later died.
