Investigation Summary
At 4:00 a.m. on October 11, 2018, an employee was working with a coworker and they were preparing to test a circuit that powered the small runway signs for pilots. The employee was holding two insulated cables that carried 5,000 volts and the male end of one of the cables touched his body, electrocuting him. Airport Rescue Services arrived on scene but were unable to do anything as power was still on and remained so for approximately 15 minutes. The employee was killed.
