A two-person power line crew was unloading new utility poles from the trailer of a boom truck. The poles were for a new three-phase overhead power line. The employees were having difficulty removing one of the new poles from the trailer. The lead power line worker rotated the boom on the truck into an existing 13-kilovolt overhead power line. The second employee, who was leaning against the truck at the time, was electrocuted. | |||||||
