Investigation Nr: 201166808

Event: 04/15/2005

Employee electrocuted in contact with power line

At approximately 10:20 a.m. on April 15, 2005, Employee #1 was working from a ladder to apply stucco scratch coat to the upper northwest corner of a new two-story house. He apparently contacted a 4.8-kilovolt primary electrical wire and was electrocuted, falling approximately 15 ft to the ground. None of the other workers on site witnessed the accident. The electrical wire was visible within 2 ft of the structure's roofline and within 5 ft of the area of wet stucco where Employee #1 had been working. The house was owned by a general contractor, who stated that he had a verbal contract with Employee #1 to plaster the house. It is not clear whether Employee #1 was an independent contractor, but he did not have a valid contractor's license.
