Abstract: On July 20, 2002, Employee #1, a journeyman electrician, received an electric shock when she touched a bare electrical wire dangling from a junction box in the basement of a house, close to where she and an apprentice helper were running a Romex wire. Apparently the apprentice was not working on the wire but just happened to ask about the size of the wire. Employee #1 was holding the wire at the tip to examine it when she was shocked. Her injuries were minor and no hospitalization was needed. Employee #1 did not know the wire was energized.
