Abstract: At approximately 8:50 a.m. on July 26, 2006, Employee #1 was working in the electrical utility room of a large retail outlet under construction. His supervisor had told him to use a Saw Zaw reciprocating saw to cut a piece of PVC pipe that was protruding vertically out of the floor of an energized switchgear cabinet. Employee #1 was making the cut when his right forearm contacted a 277-volt electrical bus, and he was electrocuted. The supervisor, who did not deenergize the switchgear, was watching Employee #1 at the time of the accident.
