Investigation Summary
An employee was installing a piece of sheet metal as part of a return air system. He was using a Makita cordless screw gun to fasten the sheet metal in place. As he secured the piece to the floor, a screw penetrated a 120-volt non-metallic-sheathed cable. This energized the sheet metal and electrocuted the employee.
