Investigation Summary
On September 28, 2006, electrical workers were upgrading a 13.5-kilovolt (kV) line to a three-phase system along State Highway West. As they were attempting to lift and turn a telephone pole, the jaws on the boom made contact with the outside phase of the energized line. Employees #1 and #2 were touching the truck, while standing on the ground. Employee #1 was killed. Employee #1 sustained electrical burns and was hospitalized. Four other workers in the area, including the operator, were not physically injured by the electrical contact.
