Narrative

An employee was raising a light pole using a digger when the digger made a jerking motion that caused the pole to swing once it was off the ground. The pole made contact with one of the phases, which energized the pole as it swung back and made contact with the employee's chest, resulting in an electrical shock to the chest and a contusion.
