Investigation Summary
At 10:33 a.m. on June 25, 2019, an employee worked to tighten guy wires using a hand-operated hoist. While tightening the top guy wire, the lower guy wire became slack and contacted a cutout switch on top of the pole. A 14,400 Volt discharge shocked the employee who was taken to the hospital to treat severe electrical burns which resulted in surgical amputation of the left arm and right leg.
