Investigation Summary
AN EMPLOYEE DUMPED A LOAD OF FERTILIZER IN A FARMER'S FIELD. A ROAD RAN NEXT TO THE FIELD, AND A 7200-VOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE RAN PARALLEL TO THE ROAD. THE EMPLOYEE PULLED HIS DUMP TRUCK, WHICH HAD A 35-FOOT-LONG BED, TOWARD THE ROAD WITH THE BED STILL RAISED. THE EMPLOYEE GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, ACTIVATED A LEVER TO LOWER THE BED, AND WALKED TOWARD THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE APPARENTLY REALIZED THAT THE BED WAS GOING TO CONTACT THE POWER LINE AND RETURNED TO THE CONTROL. HE PUT HIS RIGHT HAND ON THE CONTROL AND GRABBED A HANDLE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE TRUCK WITH HIS LEFT HAND. THE TRUCK BED CONTACTED THE POWER LINE, ELECTROCUTING THE EMPLOYEE.
