Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for New Jersey: Groundman Electrocuted During Installation of Pole Mounted Transformer.

摘要

On August 23, 1994, a 32 year-old male groundman died when he contacted at least 1,000 volts of electricity as a newly installed transformer was temporarily energized for testing. He was part of a three-man crew that was upgrading an existing electrical distribution system. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents, the following safety guidelines should be followed: (1) A job hazard analysis should be conducted; (2) Employers should develop and implement a comprehensive safety training program; and (3) Standard operating procedures should be in writing and carefully followed.
