Investigation Nr: 200552628
Event: 12/06/2002
Employee electrocuted when laddervator strikes power line

On December 6, 2002, Employee #1, a coworker, and the job foreman were moving a laddervator into position against a building to bring roofing materials from the ground to the roof. They had placed it between the building and energized overhead power lines. Employee #1 and the coworker raised the laddervator while the foreman provided kick-up bracing by placing a foot on each its feet. Employee #1 grasped the laddervator and pushed up from a high position, while Employee #2 grasped and pushed up below and in front of employee #1. Just before it reached a full vertical position, the laddervator apparently contacted the overhead lines. Employee #1 was electrocuted. The coworker suffered electrical burns, for which he was hospitalized. The foreman sustained no apparent injures. Clearance from the lines was estimated to have been less than 5 ft.
