Investigation Summary
A crane operator (employee #1) and a ground worker (employee #2) were removing an existing sign weighing about 225 kilograms from its supporting posts. A 7500-volt overhead power line was located 2.7 meters horizontally and 10.6 meters vertically from the closest post. The posts were about 9.1 meters tall. As the crane operator lowered the sign with a 1979 International Model 1824 truck crane, the load line contacted the overhead power line. The crane operator dismounted from the operator station and was electrocuted. The ground worker, who was guiding the sign, received an electric shock. He was hospitalized with multiple burns and had both arms amputated.
