Investigation Summary
A power line worker was replacing a utility pole. In violation of written work rules for live-line work, he was working alone and was not wearing rubber insulating gloves. The employee attached a jumper cable to an overhead conductor on the old pole. He connected it to the wrong phase. Since the 2100-volt phase conductor was energized, the employee was electrocuted.
