Two PCS employees who suffered burns last week when a 15-ton boom lift came in contact with a power line are recovering, according to PCS spokesman Mike Williams.

Maintenance workers were moving a motor using the boom lift when it came into contact with an overhead power line at about 12:30 p.m. last Wednesday, according to a company press release.

As of late Monday afternoon, Area Maintenance Foreman Randy Beauchamp of Hamilton County, who suffered severe burns, had undergone skin graft surgery and was expected to undergo additional surgery this week, said Williams.

Electrical Area Foreman Ronald Spells of Statenville, Ga. was scheduled for release from Shands UF, according to Williams.

PCS is currently investigating the incident, said Williams.
