Investigation Summary
A power line worker was adjusting a rubber insulating blanket to insulate an overhead power line from a metal utility pole. He apparently brought his hand close enough to the bottom of the saddle on a hot arm to generate a phase-to-ground fault from the energized conductor in the cradle to the grounded metal pole. The employee received an electric shock, and the ensuing electric arc burned him. He was hospitalized with third-degree burns to his forearms.
