Narrative

An employee was working in the bucket of an aerial lift to change out a two phase 13.2 KV straight line pole with a two phase pull off. The employee boomed down to get bottled water. The employee was booming back up to finish working on a pole when he made contact with the power line (tap primary) resulting in electrical burns to his left hand, right shoulder, and the right side of his face. The employee was admitted to the hospital and due to the severity of the burns on his left hand it was amputated.
