Final narrative
An employee installed an insulator on a pole and was coming down from the pole using a boom lift when he saw something was not complete and went back up to the location where he was previously working. He then made contact with a switch, which sent an electrical current through the left side of his body and out through the right hand. His right hand was amputated.
