Investigation Summary
On September 9, 2007, Employee #1, a lineman, was part of a four-man crew upgrading transformers from 25-kilovolt to 50-kilovolt for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. He was directing a coworker who was backing a line truck toward a utility pole so a transformer could be loaded into it when the coworker lost sight of him. Employee #1's arm became pinned between the back of the truck and the pole. He sustained a fractured left forearm and was transported to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for a day. The coworker was disciplined by the employer for not following the company's safety rules on keeping the backer/signalman in the line of site when moving a vehicle.
