Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on October 14, 2018, Employee #1 and #2, along with a coworker, were elevated in a scissor lift next to a shade structure, approximately 17 feet from the ground. Employee #2 was cleaning the panels using a long carbon fiber pole, which had a rotating brush head attached. As Employee #2 was bringing the pole and brush back toward him, Employee #1, who was behind him, thought he was going to be hit by the pole, so he pushed the pole away from him. This caused the pole to make contact with a high voltage electrical line that was approximately 12 feet from the employees. Employee #1 sustained burns to his first and fifth finger on his left hand. Employee #2 sustained electrical burns to his hands, torso, and left thigh. Neither employee was hospitalized.
