ELECTRIC SHOCK & BURN - CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE

A journeyman power line worker for an electric utility was installing a 12-kilovolt overhead power line. As he was manipulating a double-bucket aerial lift near the power line, he contacted the line. An electric arc ensued, and the employee sustained second- and third-degree burns to both hands, in addition to an electric shock. The employee was hospitalized for his injuries.
