Investigation Summary
A concrete finishing crew was pouring concrete on two second-floor patios at a residence. While his coworkers were receiving and pouring concrete, one employee was getting into position to finish the concrete with a bull float. He stepped from the deck onto a 3.4-meter-high wall that connected the two patios while he was carrying the 5.5-meter-long bull float on his shoulder and began walking along the wall. After about a meter, the bull float contacted a 7620-volt overhead power line. The employee received an electric shock, which caused him to fall to the first-floor concrete deck. He died from blunt head trauma 5 days later.
