Narrative

An employee was changing a connection at a home power meter. He was trying to replace the coaxial cable line from the ground block to the pole mount. He cut the wire and his arm brushed against the bonding clamp. When he made contact with the clamp, he was electrically shocked and knocked down. He suffered electrical burns to his left forearm and left leg, requiring hospitalization.
