Investigation Summary
Employees of two contractors, Pike Electric and the Fishel Company, were working to attach an underground power line to a utility pole to an overhead power line through a riser. A Pike Electric employee was kneeling on the ground, holding the lateral cable. He was using a knife to skin the insulation from the cable. An employee of the Fishel Company energized the 7200-volt line from another location. The Pike employee received an electric shock and died at the hospital.
