Investigation Summary
Two power line workers were working on an overhead power line. One of the employees, who was wearing protective equipment appropriate for the work, climbed a utility pole. The other employee, who was the lead worker, was instructing his coworker as he climbed the pole. The employee on the pole job was to install a new cutout switch and wildlife protection for the 7640-volt power line supported by the pole. The lead worker told the employee on the pole that he had climbed far enough and turned to retrieve a live-line tool to hand to hand to his coworker. The employee on the pole, who had apparently climbed a little higher, contacted the power line and was electrocuted.
