Investigation Summary
A crew of employees was setting a 40-foot-long utility pole into a hole in the ground from a truck bed. The pole was at an angle and was partially in the hole. A 7200-volt overhead power line was located no more than 8 feet above the ground, about 4 feet from the hole. One of the employees was using an 8-foot-long metal rod to hit the pole to get it into the hole. As the employee was swinging the rod, it contacted the power line, and he was electrocuted.
