Abstract: An electrical supervisor was installing a junction box about 3 meters (10 feet) above the ground. The box contained a neutral conductor that the employee thought was deenergized. However, this conductor was energized by another circuit remote from the work area. The neutral conductor in turn energized a conduit that the supervisor was holding onto. He received an electric shock and fell to the ground. The supervisor was hospitalized for his injuries.
