Investigation Summary
An employee had completed his job of sweeping in front of a grocery store. As he was replacing the broom, he contacted two metal-cased, upright, 120-volt soft drink refrigerators and was electrocuted. The investigation revealed that one of the refrigerators was not grounded, had reversed polarity, and had a frayed and otherwise damaged power supply cord. The employee was electrocuted when he contacted the faulty refrigerator with one hand and the properly grounded refrigerator with the other.
