What Happened?
The plan for the day (AA.0B.YYYY) was to carry out barbed wire and danger board
fixing work for X - feeder outside the boundary wall which was not charged.
Accordingly, a gang of 4 workmen of the general contractor reached the new
town Power Substation (PSS) at around 10.30 am.
At that time Site Engineer didn’t reach at site. So the gang started barbed wire
fixing as per the plan.
At around 11.30 a.m. Site Engineer reached at site and diverted the gang for
carrying out compliance of Site Observation points issued by the client
(dressing of HT cable, barbed wire and danger board fixing on 100 kVA DSS-
distribution station transformer) since client demanded the same for signing off
the Joint Measurement Sheet.
So, site engineer took shutdown from sub-station operator verbally and
instructed the gang to carry out the activity.
Shutdown taken from substation to DP structure inside the boundary wall
The victim fixed the ladder with north side pole of DP structure with the help of
another workmen and was climbing on the same.
After reaching on the isolator fixing channel, he was supposed to anchor the Full
body harness hook to the pole.
During this fixing process, the victim spread his right hand which suddenly
touched the nearby charged rabbit conductor which was coming from (outside
the boundary wall ) Y – feeder(11kV) line from Old town PSS and connecting the
station transformer
After getting electric shock he fell down to ground.
