Investigation Summary
An employee was dismantling steel racks. Some electrical wiring was attached to the racks, and it needed to be removed before they could be completely dismantled. (The wiring supplied a backup lighting system.) The employee, who was working 10 feet above the floor, opened a junction box, apparently contacted an energized conductor, and was electrocuted. (He also fell onto the frame of the steel rack and then to the floor.)
