Employee electrocuted when aerial lift strikes power line

At approximately 4:40 p.m. on June 22, 2005, Employee #1 was using a JLG aerial lift to install trim around the doorways of newly built townhouses. He was moving the lift when he contacted a 7,400-volt overhead power line. Employee #1 was electrocuted, sustaining second-degree burns to his head, back, and right arm. Employee #1 had completed jobs similar to this one during the seven years he worked for Roof-Spec, Inc., and the company had a written safety program that addressed preventing electrocutions when working near power lines. The company also had a written safety program that covered wearing fall protection when working from aerial lifts, but Employee #1 was not wearing a harness and lanyard.
