Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201041183
Event: 10/25/2002
Two employees injured when metal strip contacts power line

On October 25, 2002, Employee #1, the roofing company foreman, and Employee #2 were installing 4 in. wide by 10 ft long metal flashing along the roof eaves of a two-story structure. Two months earlier, a 3 ft wide fabricated frame scaffold had been erected around the building; where the employees were working, its guardrail was parallel to, and 6 ft away from, a 7,200-volt electrical power line. Employee #1 was handling one of the metal strips when it contacted the energized line. He received an electric shock, suffered electrical burns, and fell 20 ft from the scaffold platform onto the asphalt adjacent to the construction property. Employee #2, who was standing nearby, also reached for the metal strip and was shocked, but he remained on the scaffold platform. He sustained less serious injuries, for which he was treated and released.
