Investigation Summary
Two power line workers were working from an insulated aerial lift, installing armor rods on a 240-kilovolt overhead power line. One of the employees, a supervisor, was using a live-line tool to install the armor rods. The tool contacted the concrete pole and the ground wire hanging from the top of the pole, and current arced from the power line. (The ground wire was connected to the static wire on top of the pole.) The employee holding the live-line tool was electrocuted. His coworker received an electric shock and sustained second- and third-degree burns when the aerial lift burst into flames. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
