Employee Is Electrocuted

On September 9, 2011, Employee #1 was working for a roofing company. Employee #1 was standing on a 40-foot aluminum extension ladder and had replaced approximately 10 feet of white aluminum fascia on the rake edge of a church roof. Employee #1 descended the ladder and attempted to lower the extension ladder. The ladder came within close proximity of an overhead 7200-volt power line located approximately 32 feet above ground and within approximately 10 to 13 feet of the eaves of the church building. The ladder became energized and Employee #1 was electrocuted.
