Investigation Summary
An employee was at a landfill, preparing his trailer for transport by covering the load and tying the truck bed's tarp down. He parked the trailer beneath a 115-kilovolt overhead power line. The power line was only 2.4 meters above the top rim of the trailer bed. The employee contacted the power line and received an electric shock and severe burns over 70 to 80 percent of his body. He died of his injuries 3 days after the accident.
