ELECTRIC SHOCK - GROUND FAULT IN CORD SET

An engineer was working from a 6-foot-tall metal ladder, changing computer conductors through the ceiling and down to a receptacle. An 8-foot-long extension cord set plugged into a wall receptacle outlet was touching the metal ladder. The insulation on the cord was damaged, and the exposed conductors were touching the ladder. The employee was electrocuted, apparently when he contacted the ceiling grid.
