Investigation Summary
On July 24, 2006, Employees #1 and #2 and a coworker were replacing a roof at a church. They were using an aerial lift to access the work area. Employee #1, who was also the company owner, was operating the lift and lowering himself and the other two workers from the roof to the ground when he contacted the 7,600-volt A-phase of a overhead power line that was located about about 14 ft from the edge of the roof. Employee #1 was electrocuted. Employee #2 and the coworker sustained serious electric shocks and they were admitted to Chester/Crozier Burn Center for treatment of electrical burns. The power line had not been de-energized, relocated, or properly insulated.
