Abstract: At approximately 9:30 am on September 17, 2008, Employee #1 was performing maintenance duties from a JLG aerial lift at the Xcel nuclear plant located in Monticello, MN. He was an employee of United Rentals and had arrived onsite earlier in the morning to perform a standard maintenance check on the lift to ensure it was in good operating condition. The lift was owned by United Rentals and was being leased to Xcel Energy on that particuar jobsite. While extending the 60 ft boom from the operator station located near the left rear tire of the machine, the basket came into contact with an overhead power line running from an adjacent substation and Employee #1 was electrocuted.
