Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 125857.015 | Event: 03/20/2020 | Employee Dies After Electric Shock | ||||
| At 2:39 p.m. on March 20, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was painting the exterior of an existing two-story multifamily residential structure. As he moved an aluminum extension ladder away from the structure, the wind caught the ladder, and the ladder made contact with a nearby primary electrical power line. Electric current flowed through the ladder to the employee, who sustained an electric shock. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted and treatment was begun. Employee #1 died from his injuries. | ||||||
