Rain clouds are moving in quickly and you want to finish harvesting that last field. Another wagon is ready to dump, and more will be arriving soon. You need to move the portable auger to the next storage bin. To stay on schedule, you decide to move the auger without first lowering the height. Without warning, the auger contacts overhead power lines and two workers are electrocuted. It was too late to do anything.

This scenario is repeated on dozens of farms throughout the United States each year. Electrocution is quick and deadly, killing too many agricultural workers each year. According to the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrocutions account for about 150 deaths every year in the U.S.
