Investigation Summary
At 8:15 a.m. on November 7, 2023, an employee was standing on a 6-foot stepladder, preparing a telecommunications relay assembly for demolition, by cutting a bundle of network cables leading into the relay. The employee was electrocuted while preparing the telecommunications relay for demolition. The employee's heart rhythm could not be reestablished after electrocution. A 207V/15A lighting circuit was not deenergized and contact with live and exposed parts of this circuit caused the fatal injury.
