Investigation Summary
Three employees were pouring concrete from a bucket suspended by a truck crane. The form into which they were pouring the concrete was located under a 13.2-kilovolt (7200-volt-to-ground) overhead power line. Two of the employees were holding on to the metal bucket, steadying it as the crane operator moved it away from the form after a pour. The boom or load line contacted the road-side phase conductor of the power line, and both employees received electric shocks. One of them was electrocuted. The other was hospitalized for his injuries.
