Abstract: On March 5, 2014, Employee #1, a journeyman electrician employed by Acme Electric Company, was working at a grain processing facility. Employee #1 was the foreman for a crew permanently assigned to the electrical maintenance of the facility. Based on information developed during the subsequent investigation by Iowa OSHA, Employee #1 went into a fenced-in high voltage area located between two buildings to obtain manufacturer information from a storage capacitor. Employee #1 did not deenergize the equipment before entering this high-voltage "cage," and the PPE he was wearing consisted only of a hard hat and safety glasses. Employee #1 climbed a 6-foot fiberglass step ladder and was attempting to verify information on a capacitor when his right hand made contact with an energized electrical part. Employee #1 was electrocuted. The electrical shock he sustained was approximately 13,800 volts. Employee #1 fell from the ladder to the ground. There was no witness to this event. Employee #1 was found the next morning, at approximately 8:00 a.m. on March 6, 2014. This fatality was reported to Iowa OSHA by the employer on March 6, 2014.
