Abstract: On June 21, 2008, Employee # 1 and Employee #2, electricians, were preparing to change out high-voltage electrical lines on a utility pole. A new utility pole was placed beside the old pole so that the existing high-voltage lines could be attached. Earlier in the day, Employee #1 and Employee #2 cut power to the electric lines leading to the utility pole that was to be worked on. At around 10:30 a.m., Employee #1 was elevating himself in an aerial lift when his shoulder came in contact with an electric line. Employee #2 brought Employee #1 to the ground and administered CPR. Employee #1 did not respond and had been electrocuted. Neither Employee #1 nor #2 performed any testing prior to approaching the high-voltage electric lines. The electricians failed to disconnect all of the jumpers at the pole down the line from the one they were preparing to work on. A jumper crossed from one side of the pole to the other to electrically connect the lines. A single jumper remained connected, which left one of the lines energized. Employee #1 came in contact with that line.
