Investigation Summary
At 4:47 p.m. on July 3, 2014, an employee was working for a sole-proprietor landscaping service. He was clearing out clogs in a second-story gutter and he was repositioning a 9.8-meter (32-foot) Werner aluminum extension ladder to move on to another clog. There was an overhead power line 7.6 meters (25 feet) above the ground and 4.3 meters (14 feet) from the building. The ladder came into contact with the power line, and the employee completed the path to ground. The current exited his body through his legs and he was electrocuted.
