Investigation Summary
At 11:15 a.m. on July 19, 2017, an employee was working from the basket of a bucket truck to upgrade a conductor and pole. The truck was located near a 7.6kv single phase primary leg line of a 13,200 volt system. As the employee was holding a ground wire with his bare hand, his right shoulder touched the live power line and he was electrocuted.
