Investigation Summary
On June 18, 2003, Employee #1, a foreman for a plastering company, and a coworker apprentice were in the basket of an aerial lift installing 8 ft sections of a facade on the east side of a new building. They were maneuvering the basket when they accidentally contacted a 7,200 volt overhead power line. Employee #1 was severely injured. The basket was lowered to the ground, and several attempts were made to resuscitate him. Employee #1 was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death was electrocution. Weather conditions did not contribute to this accident.
