Narrative

Employees were finishing concrete on the second floor of a deck. An employee was about to mop the concrete with a 10-foot pole. Noticing that the top of the pole was about 6-8 feet from a power line, he moved to grab the pole; he then felt a shock and fell backwards onto another employee. Both received electrical burns and were hospitalized.
