Abstract: At about 11:45 a.m. on August 18, 2005, Employee #1, an electrician's helper, and a coworker, were running electric conductors in an attic between two three-way switches. Soon after entering the attic, Employee #1 collapsed onto the ceiling joists. The coworker attempted to contact Employee #1, found him unconscious, and began cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Emergency responders transported Employee #1 to a local hospital, where he died the next day. Polyurethane insulation had been sprayed on the interior surfaces of the metal exterior siding and roof of the structure in February of 2005.
