Investigation Summary
TWO EMPLOYEES WERE HELPING TO MOVE A LARGE, HIGHWAY-TYPE ADVERTISING SIGN INTO POSITION AT THE BASE OF A SIGN POLE. THE SIGN WAS SUSPENDED FROM A GROVE 50-TON MOBILE CRANE. A 25-FOOT SPREADER BAR WAS BETWEEN THE SIGN AND THE CRANE HOOK; AND A 12.5-KILOVOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE WAS LOCATED ABOUT 15 FEET FROM THE POLE, ON THE SIDE OF THE POLE OPPOSITE THE CRANE. THE TWO EMPLOYEES ROTATED THE SIGN SO THAT IT WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE POWER LINE. WHEN THEY DID SO, THE SPREADER BAR CONTACTED THE POWER LINE. THE EMPLOYEES RECEIVED ELECTRIC SHOCKS AND BURNS TO THEIR HANDS AND FEET.
