摘要

At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Friday, March 23, 2012, a 37-year old male electrician (victim) was electrocuted after receiving electric shock from an energized 950-volt shuttle car inner machine cable. The victim was positioned inside the cable reel compartment (see photo No. 1), removing insulation from a temporary inner machine cable connection when the accident occurred. The victim had 1 year, 8 months experience as an electrician. The accident occurred because the shuttle car trailing cable was not de-energized, locked, and tagged out at the power source, while the electrical work was being performed.
