ELECTRIC SHOCK - CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE THRU LOAD LINE

Some employees were using a Link-Belt truck crane (Model No. HC218, Serial No. 18HB151) to unload concrete reinforcement steel from a flatbed truck. The crane had a main boom that was 36.7 meters (120 feet) long with a 13.7-meter-long (45-foot-long) jib. One of the employees was standing on the bed of the truck, rigging the skids of material to be hoisted. He asked a coworker on the ground at the rear of the truck for another sling. The coworker handed him the choker-type sling that was attached to the load block. As the employee took the sling, the load line of the crane contacted a 7620-volt overhead power line located 9.6 meters (31.7 feet) above the ground. Both employees received electric shocks and sustained burns to their hands. They were hospitalized for their injuries.
