Investigation Summary
On May 23, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were working in a 6-unit office building that was owned by their employer. Employee #1 was in one of the six offices, inspecting a heating and air conditioning unit (HVAC) that was located above a door jam and above a 9-foot drop ceiling in the attic. In order to access the HVAC unit Employee #1 placed a 6-foot stepladder, approximately 2 feet from the doorway, parallel to the wall, and climbed up the ladder to inspect the HVAC unit. As Employee #1 was inspecting the HVAC unit, he noticed that both HVAC metal covering panels had been removed and wiring was exposed. Employee #1 removed another ceiling tile to investigate the unit, and he was shocked. Employee #1 fell to the floor and blacked out. Employee #1 was transported to a local hospital, where he was hospitalized and treated with pain medication for a subarachnoid hematoma.
