FAYETTEVILLE — A contractor identified Rafael Medina as the construction worker who was shocked by a power line Jan. 3.

Jerry Ennis, director of Thompson Thrift Construction, said Medina is being treated for burns on his hands and feet at Mercy Children’s hospital in Springfield, Mo.

He was listed in good condition Tuesday.

Medina was pouring an elevated concrete slab at the Cardinal apartments, near the corner of Duncan Avenue and Center Street, when a tool he was using came into contact with an electric wire.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident, said Juan Rodriguez, agency spokesman.

“If OSHA violations are found, the company could be cited and fined,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said violations are classified into three categories: serious, other than serious, or willful and repeat. Other than serious violations are the least severe, while willful and repeat are the most severe violations.

Rodriguez said companies must report to OSHA if there are three or more employee injuries requiring hospitalization, or one or more fatalities.

If fewer than three require hospitalization, they don’t have to let OSHA know, but the federal agency can investigate, he said.

Construction on the 471-bedroom complex began last spring. Developers with Specialized Real Estate Group have said they hope to open the complex in time for the fall 2014 semester at the University of Arkansas. The Fayetteville-based company is partnering on the project with Capstone Development Partners of Birmingham, Ala. Indiana-based Thompson Thrift Construction is the lead contractor on the project.

Ennis said Medina is employed by Naylor Concrete, a subcontractor.
