Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 937086

Event: 01/31/1997

ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE

A cable installer was installing a cable television cable from an uninsulated Telsta aerial lift (Model No. T40, Serial No. 540149). The employee was not using personal fall protection equipment while he was working from the bucket of the aerial lift, and he was wearing a baseball-style cap rather than an insulating hard hat. An 8000-volt overhead power line was located about 4.9 meters above the ground. The rigging for the cable television line was located 4.0 and 4.3 meters above the ground. While he was working, the employee contacted the power line with his head and was electrocuted.
