Investigation Summary
On February 24, 2003, Employee #1 and coworkers were cleaning up after a paint job on a 2,000 sq. ft. home. Employee #1 helped a coworker lower a 40 ft extension ladder by retracting it to 20 ft. The coworker then began carrying it to the company van when he tripped. Employee #1 grabbed the ladder to help him, and then told the coworker that he could take the ladder. The coworker agreed, and Employee #1 began carrying the ladder toward the back of the van, which was parked directly under a 13,200 volt phase-to-ground power line that ran across the yard. Employee #1 was preparing to load the ladder into the van when it contacted the top power line and he was electrocuted. The top power line was 21 ft from the ground while the neutral line was 17 ft from the ground.
