Investigation Summary
An employee was trying to locate a fault that was causing a loss of power to some lights in an electric sign. He contacted the frame of the sign and was electrocuted. Energized parts of one of the three ballasts for the sign were touching the metal frame of the sign, energizing it to 700 volts. In addition, the extension cord set he had used to connect the generator from his maintenance truck to the sign was not grounded. The employee died at the scene.
