Abstract: A communications worker was in an aerial lift using an electric drill to drill holes in a utility pole. The drill was powered by a truck-mounted generator. The employee was soaking wet from rain. As he turned on the electric drill, he received an electric shock. His coworker on the ground immediately deenergized the generator. Unfortunately, he was too late. The employee in the aerial lift was electrocuted. The power supply cord to the drill was defective, and the conductors inside the cord were exposed.
