Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:10 a.m. on June 11, 2008, two workers employed by Eagle Painting and Maintenance Company were working from an aerial lift, connecting two large hanging sections of tarpaulin that were being placed beneath a bridge overpass to serve as a containment structure for sand blasting and painting operations. Running beneath the bridge and immediately adjacent to the basket of the aerial lift, were pole-mounted, overhead power lines. While the painters were maneuvering the aerial lift's bucket they accidently contacted the 7,200-volt power lines and were electrocuted. Company records indicated that both painters were trained on safe working distances during work activities around or near energized overhead power lines.
