Narrative

On 11/7/2018, at approximately 8:45 AM CT, an employee was installing a polymer bell and a shackle between an eye bolt inserted through a pole and energized conductor. He made contact with the hoist that was attached to the energized conductor while attempting to push a cotter pin through the shackle pin. The contact with the hoist caused a phase-to-ground incident, electric shocking the employee. Gloves were not worn at the time.
