Investigation Summary
A power line crew was replacing a utility pole on an existing 12-kilovolt, three-phase overhead power line. The employees had set the new 15.2-meter pole about 2 meters from the existing 13.7-meter pole. The power line conductors were positioned on hot arms attached to the crossarm on the new pole. A step-seven apprentice power line worker on the crew was working from an aerial lift. As he was using a handline to pull a guy up to install it on the pole, he contacted the center phase conductor with the back of his neck and upper back and received an electric shock. He died of his injuries 2 days after the accident.
