Employee electrocuted when metal ladder contacts power line

On March 25, 2003, Employee #1, a painter, was using a 40 ft aluminum extension ladder that was extended approximately 27 ft to apply caulking to the siding of a three-story, single-family dwelling. The building was located about 10 ft from an approximately 24 ft high single-phase distribution line. Employee #1 was working between the house and a wooden fence that was about 9 ft from the house. He was moving the ladder to another area when he lost control of it and the ladder fell backward, striking the 13,800-volt overhead power line. Employee #1 was electrocuted.
