Narrative

An employee was electrically shocked when his right hand made contact with a power line that was inductively charged. There were three power lines, two outer lines with 138kv and a center line that was disconnected but not grounded. The employee grabbed the center power line when he stumbled while trying to exit the tower. He suffered exit wounds to the right shin and a right toe.
