Investigation Summary
A CRANE WAS BEING USED TO MOVE A GROUND TILLING MACHINE TO A FENCED STORAGE AREA AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE. THE MACHINE, WHICH WAS RESTING ON A TRAILER, WAS BEING MOVED IN TWO LIFTS. A 7620-VOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE WAS LOCATED ABOUT 29 FEET ABOVE THE FENCE AT THE STORAGE AREA. A 30-FOOT SPREADER SLING WAS ATTACHED TO THE CRANE'S LOAD LINE. THE FIRST LIFT WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT INCIDENT. FOR THE SECOND LIFT, A 10-FOOT SLING CHAIN WAS ADDED TO THE LOAD LINE ATTACHMENT. AFTER THE CRANE MOVED THE SECOND SECTION INTO POSITION (NEAR THE OVERHEAD LINE), A GROUND MAN BEGAN TO UNHOOK THE LOAD AND WAS ELECTROCUTED. APPARENTLY, THE CRANE OR THE LOAD LINE EITHER HAD CONTACTED OR HAD COME TOO CLOSE TO THE OVERHEAD LINE.
