Investigation Summary
Two employees were taking down an aluminum extension ladder from the side of a church. A 7200-volt overhead power line was located 3 meters from the church. Because the sections of the ladder would not retract easily and because the ladder did not have a rope or other device to move the ladder sections, the employees had to lay the ladder on the ground and force the sections of the ladder together or apart. As the employees were lowering the extended ladder, it contacted the power line. One employee was electrocuted. The other employee received an electric shock and suffered severe burns. She was hospitalized for her injuries.
