Investigation Summary
A communications worker was working from the bucket of an uninsulated aerial lift. He was below a 2000-volt (phase-to-ground) overhead power line. A coworker threw a 4.9-meter length of lashing wire to the employee in the aerial lift. The lashing wire contacted the overhead line and energized the aerial lift. The employee in the bucket was holding the other end of the lashing wire when it contacted the power line. He was electrocuted. His coworker received an electric shock and was hospitalized for his injuries.
