Investigation Summary
On December 17, 2001, Employee #1, a telecommunications worker, was using a truck with an aerial lift to install fiber optic telecommunication cable. He was elevated to a position that was below a 12-kilovolt power line and was installing the fiber optic cable about 8 ft below the lift.
