Investigation Summary
THREE STEEL ERECTORS WERE ERECTING A STEEL STRUCTURE FOR A 40-FOOT-BY-90-FOOT BUILDING. THEY WERE PLACING STEEL AT A LEVEL OF ABOUT 16 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, WITH THE HIGHEST POINT AT 17 FEET, 8 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND (A PITCH OF 2.39 DEGREES). AN OVERHEAD POWER LINE RAN ADJACENT TO THE STRUCTURE. ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES, WHO WAS WORKING AT A HEIGHT OF ABOUT 17 FEET AND WHO WAS ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE OVERHEAD LINE, WAS PULLING UP A 20-FOOT LENGTH OF FRAMING ANGLE IRON. THE EMPLOYEE PLACED THE ANGLE IRON ON HIS SHOULDER AND BEGAN TO TURN IT INTO POSITION FOR BOLTING IN PLACE. THE ANGLE IRON CONTACTED THE OVERHEAD POWER LINE, ELECTROCUTING THE EMPLOYEE.
