Employee Is Electrocuted While Installing Fiber Optic Cable

On February 12, 2009, Employee #1 was working from an aerial lift, pulling slack from a fiber optic cable that his crew was installing on utility poles. He was tying mule tape to the fiber optic cable so the fiber optic cable could be secured on the pole for the evening. He tightened the mule tape by pulling his right hand over his head. His right hand contacted an energized 7,200 volt jumper, and he was electrocuted.
