Investigation Summary
A power line worker was replacing a fuse on a 7200-volt overhead power line. He climbed the utility pole on which the fuse was located, and another employee went to their aerial lift truck to get a live-line tool. The power line worker, who was not wearing head protection or rubber insulating gloves, continued climbing the pole. His head contacted the power line, and he was electrocuted.
