Investigation Summary
A two-person crew arrived at a job site to put an addition onto a house. They placed a 40-foot-tall aluminum ladder on the ground next to the porch on the house. An overhead power line was located 10 feet east of the house and 17.25 feet above the ground. One of the employees put his foot on the bottom of the ladder while the other walked the ladder up to a vertical position. The employee whose foot had been on the ladder then lifted the ladder, and it contacted the power line. The employee received an electric shock and was taken to a hospital, where he died of electrocution.
