Investigation Summary
At 11:45 a.m. on February 6, 2019, an employee and five coworkers removed transmission power lines from wooden utility poles and placed them onto steel poles. When the coworker, who operated a crane to bring the old poles down, lowered the wooden pole; a section of the bottom distribution power line made contact with the winch cable and became energized with seventy-two hundred volts of electricity. The employee touched the winch cable to untie it from the pole when the employee received an electrical shock that resulted in second-degree burns to both hand, the abdomen, right knee and right foot. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
