Investigation Summary
On July 9, 2008, a journeyman lineman and leader of a crew were replacing wood electric poles with new concrete electric poles. The lineman and a coworker were elevated in separate aerial lifts. The lineman was positioned between an old wood pole and a new concrete pole. The electrical lines (7,200 volts) had been covered with insulated line hoses, and the two employees were wearing insulated gloves. The energized pothead jumpers that connected the overhead power lines to the underground utilities were not covered. During the course of his work, the lineman reached into the area where the exposed energized jumpers were. His bare upper arm came into contact with an energized electrical part, and he was electrocuted. The lineman was not wearing insulated sleeves with his gloves.
