Abstract: On 25 February 1999, Employee #1 was working on what he believed to be de-energized lighting circuits. The primary lighting circuits were, in fact, de-energized; the emergency lighting circuits were not de-energized. At a location removed from the immediate work area the emergency lighting automatically came on. This action caused an electrical shock to Employee #1. The victim was at that moment standing on the mid rail of an elevating work platform and fell about 6 feet to the floor. Employee #1 suffered serious injury due to the electrical shock. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
