Investigation Summary
A concrete finisher was completing work on a concrete pour in a 0.76-meter-high crawl space of a home. The homeowner had run armored cable beneath the crawl space. The armored cable and associated junction boxes had an open ground. Additionally, a ground-fault had apparently energized the armor sheath on the cable. The employee, who was in the wet cement, was electrocuted when he contacted the armored cable.
