Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on July 12, 2018, an employee was rigging trusses onto a vehicle mounted crane to be lifted onto a residential structure under construction. After approximately 11-12 trusses were lifted onto the roof, the crane operator moved the load line to a new stack of trusses that were located near an overhead power line. The crane operator dropped the load line into the center of the trusses, inadvertently contacting the crane's boom with the power line. As the crane contacted the power line, the employee grabbed hold of the load line and was electrocuted.
