Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201280195

Event: 07/28/1997

ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED CONDUCTOR

Two employees were installing overhead lighting fixtures. One employee, acting as lead person because he had more time on the job, was installing the wiring despite not being qualified to do so. The other employee, who was a qualified electrician, was acting as a helper. The unqualified employee was connecting the wiring while the circuit remained energized, but he was not wearing electrical protective equipment. He was electrocuted when his head contacted the wire hangers for a drop ceiling as his right hand was touching an energized conductor.
