ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE

An employee was climbing a scaffold that had been erected 300 millimeters from a 7200-volt overhead power line.

The employee fell 6 meters, struck a block wall, and fell 2 more meters to the ground. The employee was hospitalized for his injuries. The employer had erected the scaffold too close to the power lines even after employees had voiced their concerns.
