Investigation Summary
A power line worker used a fiberglass ladder to climb a structure in a substation. He got off the ladder and stood on the structure. As he reached with his hand to remove a piece of cotton string attached to a switch located in a 7200-volt bay, his hand touched the energized switch, and he was electrocuted.
