Investigation Summary
An electrician was repairing switches in a substation. He repaired one switch, accessing it by means of an aerial lift. It was decided that the employee would access a second switch, which was in the same general area, by climbing a support structure instead. The employee requested a clearance, and the circuits were isolated and grounded. However, when the employee, who was not using electrical protective equipment, climbed into the support structure near the switch, he contacted a conductor energized at 34 kilovolts and was electrocuted.
