Abstract: A crew was painting a railway conductor support structure. Two painters on the crew had painted an area, but had missed painting a couple places. Another painter entered this area, which was near the top of the structure to paint the places missed by the other two painters. He crossed some wet paint and apparently began straddling a bridge beam to cross to the unpainted places. The employee either fell into or simply contacted a 27.6-kilovolt overhead power line. He was electrocuted.
