Investigation Summary
At 9:15 a.m. on April 10, 2014, an employee was advancing category five wire communication wire from a pool area to the ground floor at an apartment complex. Investigation and security video revealed that the employee entered a transformer closet with no warning signs, training, or personal protective equipment. Transformer electrical buses were in close proximity to the holes that were drilled in the floor and the ceiling to route the wiring. The employee came in contact with high voltage electricity. A witness stated the employee was found lying on the hall way floor with charred clothing and skin from the arc flash created by contact with the transformer. The employee died at the hospital.
