Reports — September 2010

Fatal  Power Line IncidentEMS  9/30/10: Dale, Oregon — Fox man electrocuted in log-loading accident
| Cache Copy |

This is the 22nd. AVOIDABLE incident reported to this site in 2010 in which power lines were involved. There were 40 incidents reported to this site in 2009, 59 in 2008, 47 in 2007, 36 in 2006, 38 in 2005, 41 in 2004, 60 in 2003, 33 in 2002 and 35 in 2001. Again, all were avoidable. Just don't work cranes near energized power lines.

Power line contact is the most frequent cause of crane accidents, yet they are the easiest to prevent. LOOK up and live!
