Electric Shock - Contact with Overhead Line thru Ladder

An employee was installing vinyl siding on a garage. While he was working, he moved a 12.2-meter-long aluminum ladder. He had lifted the ladder off the roof and into a vertical position. He lost control of the ladder, and it tipped backward into a 19.92-kilovolt overhead power line located 9.1 meters above the ground. The employee was electrocuted. A coworker tried to pull the employee to safety. However, he received an electric shock and moved away. The coworker was transported to a hospital, where he was examined and released.
