Investigation Summary
An employee was working from the bucket of an aerial lift. He was tying in a new neutral conductor onto an insulator on a bracket on a utility pole. A 13.2-kilovolt (7620-volt phase-to-ground) hot tap was located above the bracket on the same side of the pole. The tap dead-ended about 660 to 760 millimeters from the pole. The employee was not wearing appropriate electrical protective equipment and had not covered the hot tap with insulation. He apparently contacted the tap and was electrocuted.
