Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on March 29, 2002, Employees #1 and #2 were installing downspouts on the side of an apartment building. A 37,900-volt overhead power line was 10 ft from the building. The employees used a 40 ft metal extension ladder to access the downspouts. After finishing the work, they both grabbed the ladder to move it to the other side of the complex. They were pulling the ladder away from the building when the side rails contacted the overhead line. Employee #1 was killed instantly. Employee #2 received an electric shock and was knocked several feet away from the ladder. He sustained electrical burns, for which he was hospitalized.
