Investigation Summary
At 4:36 p.m. on April 23, 2024, an employee working as a construction laborer for a siding contractor was assisting a coworker installing metal gutters. The employee and the coworker (company owner) tied two portable ladders together to gain additional height to reach a roof edge 25 feet above the ground. They were raising the two ladders to the roof edge when the ladders tipped backwards and fell onto exposed and energized 7200-Kilivolt overhead power lines. The ladder that contacted the power lines was metal with conductive siderails. The employee was standing on the ground at the base of the ladder when he was electrocuted. The employee died from internal and external electrical related burns.
