Investigation Summary
Two painters were moving a manually propelled mobile scaffold to gain access to the last side of a building so they could continue removing paint from it. The scaffold was 1.5 meters wide, 2.1 meters long, and 7.2 meters high. As the employees were moving the scaffold, it contacted an energized cutout on the crossarm of a utility pole located on the sidewalk in front of the building. One of the employees was electrocuted. The other employee received an electric shock and severe burns and was hospitalized for his injuries.
