Investigation Summary
A journeyman power line worker had elevated himself and a coworker in an insulated aerial lift. Rubber insulating equipment was readily available to the employees, and they had been reminded to use it. The power line worker, who apparently was not using electrical protective equipment, contacted a 7200-volt overhead power line conductor and a grounded conductor at the same time. He was electrocuted. His coworker sustained burns and was hospitalized for his injuries. (The precise cause of the burn injuries was not reported.)
