Investigation Summary
At 5:10 p.m. on March 28, 2019, an employee was working on a crew that was tasked with pouring a cement foundation for high mast light poles. The employee was standing/sitting on the rear of a boom truck as the boom truck operator removed a 41.83 foot tremie pipe used to pour the cement. As the pipe was laid on the ground, the boom contacted a 7,620 Volt overhead power line. The boom truck was energized and the employee was electrocuted.
