Abstract: An electrician and a coworker were relocating a 480-volt transformer. The coworker had opened the circuit breaker that morning before they started the job, but did not lock it out. After returning from purchasing materials off-site, the electrician climbed onto a metal storage rack approximately 3 meters above the ground. As he was pulling conductors from an existing conduit, he touched exposed, energized conductors and was electrocuted. The circuit had apparently been reenergized.
