Abstract: On March 26, 2005, Employees #1 and #2, both laborers, were finishing the laying of a 50 foot by 100 foot concrete slab. Employee #1 raised the handle of a 23 foot long bull float into the air, accidentally contacting an overhead power line that was 22.5 feet tall. Employee #1 sustained an electric shock and fell to the ground. The handle remained on the power line and a coworker used a two by four to push the handle off the line; however, the bull float handle remained energized as it fell towards Employee #2 and struck him. Employee #2 also suffered an electric shock. Both Employees #1 and #2 were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were hospitalized and treated for their injuries.
