Narrative

Employees were working to secure a low-hanging feeder. An employee was elevated in a bucket at a height of approximately 12 feet and was pulling the lashing wire. The lashing wire flipped up and struck the lower phase (120 volts) of power that was 2.4 feet above the feeder and strand. The employee sustained electrical burns to their chest, both hands, and the right forearm.
