Investigation Summary
At 3:45 p.m. on July 9, 2020, an employee was working for a gutter cleaning service. He was at a residence, setting up a 9.8-meter (32-foot) Werner aluminum extension ladder. He was working near an overhead power line. The phase conductors were approximately 6.9 meters (22.5 feet) above the ground. They were energized at a distribution voltage of 7.2kV phase-to-ground or 12.5kV phase-to-phase. As the employee raised the upper section of the ladder, it came into contact with one or more phase conductors. There was a path for current to take, possibly from the employee's left arm, which was in contact with the ladder, through the employee's body, and exiting from his foot. He was electrocuted.
