Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:50 a.m. on July 24, 2002, Employee #1, a maintenance engineer with the Pacific Building Group, was moving a fluorescent light fixture that was part of a 14 ft high drop ceiling. The light was operating at the time and the circuit was energized at 277 volts. Employee #1 was working from a 12 ft fiberglass ladder when he grabbed the fixture and received an electric shock. This caused him to lose his balance and fall off the ladder onto the concrete floor. Employee #1 died of blunt force trauma from the fall, but there was evidence to suggest he fell from the ladder because of the electric shock.
