Abstract: An employee was changing air filters on a large, 480-volt, three-phase air exchanger unit located in a mechanical room on the second floor of a building. Instead of using a tool to remove the filter, the employee crawled inside a filter compartment to get to it. As he was doing this, he contacted an energized conductor in the compartment and was electrocuted. The equipment had not been locked out before the employee started to work on it.
