A farm worker was unloading produce packing crates. The employee was experienced in performing this job. He had parked his truck and was raising a 5.2-meter hydraulic boom mounted on the back of his 1997 Mitsubishi Fuso Truck (Model FM-SP). He was standing at the right rear of the truck, using a pendant control to guide the boom into position. (The boom was manufactured by Frank's Welding.) The boom contacted a 12-kilovolt overhead power line, and the employee was electrocuted. | |||||||
