Investigation Summary
On August 1, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were power line workers and were working from separate elevated buckets. They were rephasing and upgrading copper and aluminum overhead power lines, which were approximately 40 ft above the ground. The employees had covered the conductors with rubber insulating line hoses and had placed one of two rubber insulating blankets on the insulator. The second insulator was not blanketed. Employee #1's back contacted the unprotected 4-kilovolt power line. He was electrocuted.
