Investigation Summary
A crew foreman and another employee were at an apartment complex inspecting and repairing a leaking roof. They erected an aluminum ladder and extended it to about 10.4 meters to reach the 8.5-meter-high roof. The employees climbed to the roof, inspected it, and took photographs of the area in need of repair. They then descended to the ground. As they were moving the ladder, it contacted a 7.6-kilovolt overhead power line located 10.3 meters above the ground and approximately 4 meters from the building. Both employees were holding the ladder when it contacted the power line. The crew foreman received an electric shock and sustained severe burns on his hands and feet. His burns resulted in the surgical amputation of his lower left leg, several fingers, and one toe. He was hospitalized for his injuries. The second employee was electrocuted.
