Abstract: An apprentice carpenter working for a general contractor for remodeling projects was installing support brackets and bolts on the foundation of a condominium unit. He was working near an exterior electric hot water heater on the patio of the unit. He had installed the hold-down bolts and was straightening one of them with a pry bar so that he could install the bracket. The pry bar, which was pressed against the wall support stud, penetrated the sheath and insulation of a 120-volt nonmetallic-sheathed cable. The employee was electrocuted.
