Investigation Summary
Two power line workers were working from a utility pole. One of them was tying down a 7200-volt overhead power line conductor with a preformed tie wire. He was wearing rubber insulating gloves. The second employee was beneath him, putting tension on the conductor. The first employee lost his grip on the tie wire, allowing it to unwind. The tie wire hit him under his arm, and he was electrocuted.
