Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an apprentice lineman, was elevated in a dielectrically tested bucket to measure for streetlight and transformer relocation on a pole. Employee #1 came into contact with the primary feeder line while not wearing protective sleeves. Employee #1's right hand was later amputated, and some loss of use is expected in his left arm which came into contact with the streetlight mast. The crew foreman was not close-by when Employee #1 went up in the bucket to perform the work. Due to short-term memory loss, it is not known why Employee #1 ended up within the minimum approach distance of the energized line. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
