Investigation Summary
An employee was working from an aerial lift, securing metal bands and spacers to a newly installed fiber-optic communication cable. He had metal bands and spacers tucked inside his waistband, and they were touching a grounded guy. As he was moving his aerial lift bucket, the employee contacted a 7200-volt overhead power line with his neck. He fell about 6 meters into the bed of his utility truck. In addition to the electric shock, the employee sustained a broken scapula and burns to his neck, stomach, arm, and hands. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
