Worker killed in Ladder Safety incident
A recent incident in the US serves to remind us that aluminum ladders and power lines are a disastrous combination under any circumstances.
OSHA is currently investigating an incident in Milford, CT, where a worker was power washing a house when his ladder came into contact with a power line.
Apparently the workers didn't lower the ladders they were using, but simply leaned them back, where they came in contact with the service line from the utility pole to the house, which carries 200 amps of electricity.
