Abstract: A delivery person for a brick and stone supply company was using a boom on the back of his flatbed truck to unload brick at a construction site. A 7200-volt overhead power line was located nearby, and the sun blinded the employee's view of the power line. A contractor at the site warned the employee about the power line; but minutes later the employee, who was standing on the ground operating the boom controls, brought the boom into contact with the line. The employee was electrocuted.
