Investigation Summary
On March 28, 2012, Employee #1 was working as a ground man on a crew that was replacing utility poles. The crew had just sawn a section off an old pole and was attempting to lower it to the ground. Employee #1 grabbed the butt end of the pole and swung it away from the truck so the operator could lay the pole on its side. As Employee #1 swung the butt end of the pole outward, the top of the pole contacted an energized line, electrocuting him.
