Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on June 1, 2004, Employee #1, a crew supervisor, was helping to re-rout a 7,200-volt overhead power line around a newly erected transmission pole when he received an electric shock. He was knocked unconscious and transported to the hospital, where he died approximately two weeks later. The line Employee #1 was handling was de-energized, but it was adjacent to an energized one. Slack in the de-energized line caused it to contact a jumper for the energized line at a nearby pole. The crew had planned to de-energize all the lines, but had not cut a jumper to the adjacent line. The line being handled was not tested or grounded, and Employee #1 was not using any form of electrical PPE.
