A 40-year-old male meter technician had just completed a seven-week basic lineman training course. He worked as a meter technician during normal working hours and as a line during unplanned outages. One evening, he was called to repair a power outage at your company. By the time he arrived at the site of the outage, he had already worked two hours of overtime and worked 14 straight hours the day before. At the site, a tree limb had fallen across an overhead power line. The neutral wire in the line was severed and the two energized 120-volt wires were disconnected. The worker removed the tree limb and climbed up a power pole to reconnect the three wires. He was wearing insulated gloves, a hard hat, and safety glasses. He prepared the wires to be connected. While handling the wires, one of the energised wires caught the cuff of his left glove and pulled the cuff down. The conductor contacted the victim's forearm near the wrist. He was electrocuted and fell backwards. Paramedics arrived five minutes after the contact. Firefighters lowered his dead body 30 minutes later. Based on the report, it is vital that this kind of accident should never have happened again. The upper management wants you to create based on the incident that happened, formulate a 10 Step Safety Operating Procedure (SOP) that can cover the element of hazard and mistakes being done. The SOP should have their own justification on why it is needed.

You're stuck between that proverbial "rock and a hard place."
