An employer was using an area under a 7.2-kilovolt overhead power line for storage and staging of material. Employees set up a crane under the power line to move some of the stored material. As the crane hoisted a load of material and swung it to the side, the crane boom or load line contacted the power line, electrocuting a laborer who was performing rigging and signaling for the crane. | |||||||
