Investigation Summary
A right-of-way crew had broken a utility pole and anchor. A three-person construction crew for an electric utility was assigned to replace the pole. Without determining the existing conditions at the site and without holding a job briefing, the crew placed the new pole, installed new anchors, and began transferring the conductors from the old pole to the new one. Wearing denim jeans, a flame-retardant shirt, leather steel-toed shoes, a hard hat, and leather gloves, but not rubber insulating gloves, one of the crew members apparently contacted the overhead power line and was electrocuted.
