ELECTRIC SHOCK - GROUND FAULT IN DISHWASHER

An employee was installing a 120-volt dishwasher in an apartment. He miswired the machine by splicing the equipment grounding conductor to the ungrounded circuit conductor. He also connected the grounded circuit conductor for the machine to an ungrounded circuit conductor from a different branch circuit. The ground fault energized the exposed metal parts of the dishwasher. When the employee started to connect a water pipe to the machine, he was electrocuted.
