Abstract: An employee was installing drywall above some existing pipes and adjacent to temporary 480-volt wiring. As he was pushing the drywall into place, the sharp edge of a metal stud abraded the temporary wiring's flexible cable when the cable rubbed against the stud. The stud penetrated the covering on the cable and the insulation on one of the conductors, causing a ground fault. The employee received an electric shock. He was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and released.
