TV Tower Installer Dies in Electrocution Accident
Posted on September 22, 2011 by Ronald Todd
TV tower installer falls from roof and makes contact with power lines. The installer receives electrocution injuries. He dies from a severe traumatic brain injury due to the high voltage electricity.
Indiana investigators make the following recommends to prevent other construction fatalities:
- Contact utility companies to have power lines insulated or de-energized prior to the commencement of any work tasks.
- Evaluate worksites, identify hazards, and instruct employees in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe working conditions in proximity to high voltage power lines.
- Develop and implement written safety program designed to enable workers to recognize and avoid hazards, especially electrical hazards.
(NIOSH FACE Program: Indiana Case Report 93IN080).
