Investigation Summary
A power line crew was replacing cutouts, jumpers, and insulators on an overhead power line. The crew opened the three cutouts for the overhead line. One of the power line workers climbed the utility pole while a coworker work was going to work next to him from an aerial lift. The bucket was not in a good enough position and needed to be moved. As the employee in the aerial lift began moving the bucket, he and the safety watch heard an electric arc and saw a flash. The employee on the pole apparently moved around the pole and contacted a 14.4-kilovolt jumper with his right hand. The injured employee was hospitalized for the electric shock he received and for burns to his right hand and right ankle.
