Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on July 24, 2014, two employees were working for a firm that provided specialized local freight trucking. Using a flatbed truck, they were making a delivery to a construction site. They were standing alongside the truck, removing the cargo straps from some palletized loads. The palletized loads consisted of roofing tiles. A hydraulically operated conveyer and boom system was mounted on the bed of the truck. The operator of the truck was positioning the boom to move the roofing tiles from the truck to on top of the roof. The boom came into contact with some overhead power lines. The two employees sustained an electric shock. Both employees were hospitalized. One of the employees later died of his injuries
