Abstract: Employee #1, a welder in a steel fabrication shop, was going to weld on a steel form. He was using an overhead hoist to position the form and lowered the 5,500 pound steel form onto an electrical cord. The electrical cord supplied power to a Miller Millermatic 300 electric welder. The welding machine was off, but its cord was plugged into a 480-volt outlet. The steel form cut into the insulation of the cord, and the form became electrically energized. Employee #1 was electrocuted when he came into contact with the steel form and died.
