Investigation Summary
On August 1, 2006, Employee #1 and coworkers were painting the east side peak of a tower that was located near a 7.2-kilovolt electric line. When Employee #1 completed the top section of the peak, which was approximately 6 in. from the line, he took off his lanyard to move to a lower position. In the process, he contacted the overhead power line, lost his hold on the tower, and fell. Employee #1 dropped approximately 30 ft onto power lines, then another 70 ft to the ground. Employee #1 died of traumatic injuries sustained in the fall.
