ELECTRIC SHOCK - CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE THRU BULL FLOAT

An employee was doing finish work on a 15.2-meter by 48.8-meter concrete pad. He was using a bull float with handle extensions. The 11.0-meter-long handle was made up from six 1.8-meter-long sections. A 14.4-kilovolt overhead power line was located near the pad, 9.8 meters above the ground. As he was pulling the bull float off the edge of the concrete pad, the employee raised the handle straight up, and it contacted the power line. The employee received an electric shock. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
