Abstract: On June 28, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker were performing routine electrical work during a remodeling project. They were moving some electrical lines from an old 480-volt subpanel to a new 480-volt subpanel to meet new electrical codes. Employee #1 died of apparent electrocution. He was found about 12 ft from any live electrical source, although he may have contacted an energized connector while working on the panel.
