Investigation Summary
At 12:15 p.m. on December 13, 2002, Employee #1, age 20, was affixing a roof rafter on a house under cpmstruction in Clarendon Hills, IL. He was standing on an 8 ft 4 in. tall unfinished garage wall when his hand contacted a 2,400-volt power line that was 5 ft 6 in. above the top of the wall. Employee #1 was electrocuted. It is possible that Employee #1's height of 6 ft 1 in. was a ccontributing factor. Both age and inexperience were considered causal factors in this accident. The employer was cited for not having a safety program or accident prevention program, for allowing work too close to energized power lines, for having no fall protection plan, and for providing no PPE. The weather at the time of the accident was damp, with light rain.
