| Summary Nr: 201344587 | Event: 09/20/2007 | Employee Electrocuted When Truck Boom Contacts Power Line | ||||
| At approximately 1:30 p.m. on September 20, 2007, Employee #1 and two coworkers were installing a new power line. A line truck was used to dig the hole for a new pole; the hole was located beneath an existing 7,200-volt primary service line. The crew was attempting to screw in a ground anchor, which was positioned at an angle on the truck. Employee #1 was holding the anchor and guiding it into the newly dug hole when the pole claws on the truck boom contacted the overhead line. He was electrocuted. Employee #1 was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. | ||||||
