Abstract: Some employees were using a P&H mobile crane (Model No. T-145, Serial No. 48369) to lower a concrete bucket to the bottom of a wash at a bridge-widening project. An employee at the bottom of the wash, which was located 4.6 meters below the crane, was holding onto the concrete bucket, guiding it into place. The boom of the crane contacted an overhead power line. The employee holding the bucket received an electric shock and second- and third-degree burns to the right side of his face and to his right shoulder and hand. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
