Employee Suffers Electric Shock While Installing Power Pole

Employee #1 was working with crew members installing a power pole. The pole was set and Employee #1 was making a ground wire connection to a ground rod at the base of the pole. At the same time, a coworker was installing an insulated cover on the high voltage phase at the tip of the pole. The coworker pushed the line against the pole, causing a voltage flow from the high voltage line to the ground wire. This action resulted in a shock to Employee #1. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
