Investigation Summary
On July 26, 2004, Employees #1 and #2 were using an aluminum extension ladder to paint the front of a church/meeting house and the box on the roof. Running parallel to the side of the building was an approximately 32 ft 10 in. tall overhead power line. The phase closest to the building, called the field side phase, was approximately 10 ft from the edge of the roof. Employees #1 and #2 had finished for the day and they were starting to take down the 35 ft tall ladder when it contacted the approximately 13.8 kilovolt power line, acting as a path to ground. Employee #1 was electrocuted. Employee #2 fell backward and sustained a contusion to the back of his head; he also suffered burns on his feet. Both workers were transported to Danbury Hospital, where Employee #1 was pronounced dead on arrival. Employee #2 was hospitalized for treatment of his injuries.
