Employee electrocuted in contact with power line

On August 26, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker were erecting a 24 ft by 40 ft aluminum building in Westfield, NC.

His coworker handed him an approximately 6 in. wide by 20 ft long piece of head channel to install as part of the structural roof support. Employee #1 was putting the head channel in place when it contacted an overhead power line. He sustained an electric shock that knocked him 13 ft 9 in. to the next lower level. Employee #1 was electrocuted but he sustained secondary internal injuries in the fall.
