Narrative

An employee working in climbing gear was installing a new ground wire on a power pole. He made contact with a bracket for a security light, which was energized because the photo controller was improperly wired. After making contact, he donned "secondary" gloves and continued working. About 20-30 minutes later he lost consciousness and stopped breathing. He was hospitalized with cardiac arrest.
