Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on March 12, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at the renovation of a two-story commercial building. He was on the roof and using a steel tape measure in preparation for installing a piece of sheet metal roofing. The wind blew the extended part of the tape measure into an overhead power line that was transmitting 19,920 volts of electricity. An electric arc occurred, which burned and shocked Employee #1 and caused him to fall from the roof, a fall height of 25 feet. The impact of the fall resulted in blunt force traumatic injuries to his head and torso. Employee #1 was killed.
