Abstract: SOME EMPLOYEES WERE UNLOADING A TRAILER OF ROOFING MATERIAL. A CRANE PICKED UP THE LOAD, AND THE OPERATOR SWUNG THE BOOM TO POSITION THE MATERIAL IN THE UNLOADING AREA.

THE EMPLOYEE THEN PUSHED ON THE HOOK, AND THE LOAD LINE APPARENTLY CONTACTED A 12-KILOVOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE THAT WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE HIM. THE EMPLOYEE WAS ELECTROCUTED.
