Investigation Summary
TWO EMPLOYEES WERE WORKING FROM AN EXTENSIBLE-BOOM AERIAL LIFT, REMOVING PAINT FROM THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. THEY WERE USING A PRESSURE WASHER AND AN ALUMINUM-HANDLED SCRUB BRUSH TO PERFORM THIS TASK. THE EMPLOYEES WERE WORKING NEAR A 4160-VOLT OVERHEAD POWER LINE. ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES HAD FINISHED SCRUBBING THE BUILDING SURFACE AND STEPPED BACK, AS THE SECOND EMPLOYEE RINSED THE BUILDING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER. WHEN THE SECOND EMPLOYEE TURNED AROUND, HE NOTICED THAT THE FIRST EMPLOYEE WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER OF THE PLATFORM VOMITING. HE WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD OF ELECTROCUTION. THE SECOND EMPLOYEE WAS ALSO INJURED, BUT THE REPORT DID NOT STATE HOW THIS OCCURRED.
