A LINE INSTALLER FOR A CABLE TELEVISION COMPANY WAS LASHING A NEWLY INSTALLED TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE TO SUSPENSION STRAND. HE WAS WORKING FROM AN AERIAL LIFT, TOWING THE LASHING TOOL OVER THE TOP OF A TREE. THE BOOM OF THE AERIAL LIFT WAS CONTACTING THE GROUNDED SUSPENSION STRAND. THE EMPLOYEE TOUCHED A TWO-CONDUCTOR SERVICE DROP, WHICH WAS LOCATED ABOUT 30 INCHES BELOW THE PRIMARY, AND RECEIVED A SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCK. (THE ORIGINAL REPORT ALSO STATED, HOWEVER, THAT THE EMPLOYEE CONTACTED A 12-KILOVOLT CONDUCTOR.) THE EMPLOYEE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR HIS INJURIES.
