On July 30, 2004, Employee #1 entered the crawl space beneath a home under construction to nail bridging to the sub flooring. He was using a two-head, halogen light set and a 100 ft long extension cord to work in the dark. Employee #1 was holding positive and negative electrical connectors in his left hand when he apparently pushed them down into the mud and was electrocuted. The extension cord was plugged into a defective GFCI-equipped outlet. The extension cord and the flexible power cord on the light set were also damaged.
