Narrative

On September 3, 2020, an employee was working on the roof's edge attempting to insert a rivet while installing gutters. A high power electrical line was located about 2 feet from the edge of the roof where the employee was working. A power surge caused the power to jump off the line entering the employee's head and exiting through his right arm.
