Investigation Summary
Three employees were installing a streetlighting pole at the entrance to a parking lot. One employee was operating a boom truck, hoisting the pole. An electrician and an apprentice were guiding the pole into place on its base. The mast arm of the pole swung into a 12-kilovolt overhead power line, electrocuting the electrician and apprentice. The boom operator jumped from the truck and was not injured.
