Abstract: A two-person crew was delivering construction materials to a jobsite in a Ford flatbed truck equipped with an ITM hydraulic boom. The employees were moving from one place to another at the site, but they had not properly lowered the boom. The partially elevated boom contacted a 40-kilovolt phase-to-phase (25-kilovolt phase-to-ground) overhead power line. The driver left the cab of the truck. He was holding onto a metal ladder secured to the side of the truck as his foot hit the ground, and he was electrocuted.
