Abstract: A plastering crew was fireproofing metal columns on the third floor of a hospital under construction. One of the employees had been using an electric welder to weld metal clips onto a rolling scaffold platform. While another employee was finishing the spraying of one column and with the electric welder not being used, a third employee began to remove the work lead clamp, which was connected to the next column. He grabbed the clamp with his right hand, and his left hand went straight up in air. The employee stumbled around and fell to ground. Emergency medical services were summoned and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was administered. Despite these measures, the employee died of electrocution. The coroner reported that the dead employee did not have any burns on his body, and there was no evidence of arcing when he grabbed the ground clamp. A blood analysis by the coroner indicated that methamphetamine intoxication was a contributory cause of death.
