Investigation Summary
A crew of employees was on the roof of a two-story building, installing air conditioning units and condensate lines. One of the employees on the crew was assigned to assemble duct fittings. He dropped a tool into one of the vent shafts. The next day, he decided to retrieve it with a 6.1-meter-long section of copper tubing. A 12-kilovolt overhead power line was located 3.8 meters above the roof. He was electrocuted when he brought the tubing into contact with the power line. His employer had not conducted a thorough prejob survey to determine what safeguards were necessary.
