29 CFR 1926.1427(k)(2)(i): The employer did not ensure that operators of equipment covered by this standard are competent to operate the equipment safely: (a) Jobsite, Armory Drive, Everett, PA: On or about September 8, 2015 the employer did not ensure that the operator of the Pioneer 27 1/2 ton truck crane was competent to operate the equipment safely. The operator did not know the distance required to operate equipment so that no part of the crane could contact any overhead power lines. The operator had boomed out and was within inches of the 23kv power line. An employee was electrocuted when they grabbed the cable line to rig a piece of steel casing and the line was pulled into the power line.
