Investigation Summary

Event: 11/15/2005
Employee burned when steel tape measure contacts power line

On November 15, 2005, Employee #1 was part of a three-person crew that was measuring the elevation above grade of the fourth floor of a building. Employee #1 was on the fourth floor, between 10 and 15 ft away from the northeast corner of the floor edge. He began lowering the free end of a 100 ft steel tape measure to a coworker, who was waiting at ground level at the north side of the building. The site superintendent was positioned at a nearby transit to tell the coworker on the ground how to position the tape to establish grade level. Before the tape was fully lowered to the ground it contacted an energized 7,200-volt primary distribution line that was overhead to the north of the building. Employee #1 received an electric shock that entered through his right hand and exited near his right knee. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for burns and then released. At the time of the accident, the wind was out of the south at between 5 and 8 knots.
