A foreman and another employee were guiding a load of steel augers suspended by a 7.3-metric-ton JLG hydraulic crane (Model No. 800BT). The foreman was signaling the crane operator. A 14.4-kilovolt overhead power line, which no one noticed, was located nearby. The extended boom on the crane contacted the power line, and the foreman received an electric shock. He was transported to a hospital but died of electrocution within the hour. | |||||||
