Investigation Summary
A contractor was constructing a new overhead power line approximately 12.2 meters from an existing 345-kilovolt overhead power line. Two employees were working at a height of 20.4 meters from a two-person platform mounted on a Terex hydraulic crane. They were installing jumpers on the new power line. One of the two employees, an apprentice power line worker, was electrocuted, apparently by induced voltage on the new line.
