Investigation Summary

The coworker was operating a digger derrick boom truck while the employee was holding onto the metal pole to position it into its permanent base. At some point, the pole made contact with a 7,200 volt power line and became energized. The employee then received an electrical shock and burns to his hands and feet and was hospitalized.
