Abstract: Some employees were using a Lorain truck crane (Model No. C-42) with a telescoping boom to hoist 11-meter-long wood trusses. The trusses were stacked under a tree that was below an overhead power line. However, no one had been designated to observe the clearance from the power line. One of the employees hooked a wire rope choker sling to a truss. The crane's load line contacted the 7620-volt power line, and the employee was electrocuted.
