Lineman shock incident

[Bubay]

I came across a story about a lineman who got into trouble after making contact and taking a shock. Crews had to cut electricity to get him down, which ended up leaving the area without power for several hours and I think it was like two days to Christmas. He got shocked with 69k volts and that's a lot
If you were on the crew, how would you handle a situation like that?

Make sure the lineman is well insulated and grounded. Use a bucket truck or aerial lift to access safely. If needed, get in touch with the power company to arrange a controlled shutdown. Always prioritize safety and efficiency to keep downtime to a minimum.
