Investigation Summary
A power line crew was moving an overhead power line to a different set of utility poles. A power line worker on the crew, who was working from the bucket of an aerial lift, lowered a deenergized conductor to another employee. This employee removed rubber insulating line hose from the conductor and handed it to a third employee. The third employee, an equipment operator, then began pulling on the conductor. This caused the live-line tool at the other end of the conductor to contact an energized 19-kilovolt overhead power line. The equipment operator was electrocuted.
