Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170388755
Event: 03/13/2001
Electric Shock - Direct Contact with Overhead Line

Two power line workers were assigned to repair a conductor on a utility pole. The conductor had been damaged by a storm. They arrived at the worksite, which was near a residence, in an aerial lift truck. They decided to climb the pole rather than damage the soft ground with the truck. One of the power line workers climbed the pole and removed a jumper that connected a tap conductor to an overhead feed-through conductor. With his right foot on the pole ground, the employee reached toward the pole to adjust the conductor sag at the dead-end clamp. He was not wearing rubber insulating gloves at the time. He contacted the overhead feed-through conductor with his left hand and received an electric shock. The other power line worker, who was on the ground to check the sag of the tap conductor, heard an arcing sound and turned to see his coworker slumped against the pole, supported by his body belt. The employee on the ground summoned emergency medical services as he rescued his coworker in the aerial lift. The injured power line worker was hospitalized.
