Abstract: An employee was moving a fully extended ladder to the rear of a building, when the top of the ladder came into contact with overhead power lines. The ladder was missing the rope on the pulley that would have allowed the ladder to close easily. The employee sustained severe burns to his chest, and he was taken to a hospital. He died as a result of his injuries a week later.
