Investigation Summary
On July 12, 2004, Employee #1 was climbing a scaffold to help a coworker take measurements on a roof for placing double Ts when he contacted an energized, overhead power line. The shock caused him to fall from the scaffold to the ground, fracturing several ribs and a vertebra in his lower back. Employee #1 also sustained third-degree burns on his lower back, arms, and hands. The coworker was approximately 20 ft away on the scaffold and saw Employee #1 receive the electric shock. He began to descend to help Employee #1 when he touched a rebar that felt "hot" to him. The scaffold frame was within 32 in. of the power line, and no isolation or shielding of the line was in place.
