						electrical conductor, energized tree limb, tool, equipment, or other object,
						provides a path for the flow of electricity to a grounded object or to the
						ground itself. Simultaneous contact with two energized conductors phase to
						phase will also cause electric shock that may result in serious or fatal
						injury.

						occur as a result of ground fault when a person stands near a grounded object.
						For example, if an uninsulated aerial device with its outriggers down comes
						into contact with a conductor.

						in treatment. There shall be at least 1 employee for every 20 employees at any
