Investigation Summary
On November 2, 2001, Employee #1 and Employee #2, his helper, were installing ceramic tile in the bathroom of a warehouse addition under construction. Employee #1 was trying to repair an electric drill that kept shocking him when used. He told his helper to plug the drill into a Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor receptacle, which did not work, but to unplug it if he (Employee #1) reported being shocked. When Employee #2 plugged in the drill, both workers received electric shocks and he dropped the cords. Employee #1 was electrocuted. EMT's responded but were unable to revive Employee #1.
