Investigation Summary
Some employees were replacing a utility pole supporting a 14.4-kilovolt overhead power line. The employees were using two aerial lifts and a Polecat digger-derrick. Two of the employees were supporting and guiding the pole base into the hole. The pole had a ground wire stapled to it and a guy attached. The employees lost control of the pole when it missed the claws of the digger-derrick, and the pole contacted the power line. The guy hit the back of one of the two employees supporting the pole, electrocuting him. The guy also contacted the calf of the other employee. He received an electric shock and was hospitalized for his injuries.
