Investigation Summary
On July 17, 2002, Employer #1, a laborer working for a masonry company, was entering a room where a tubular-framed scaffold had been erected. One of the scaffold legs had been set on top of an extension cord that was being used to power a industrial fan on the opposite side of the room. The extension cord ran underneath the scaffold's leg near the permanent outlet on the west end of the room and the cord was touching the scaffold at various points leading to the outlet. The weight of the scaffold cut through the extension cord, energizing the scaffold. When Employee #1 entered the room and passed through the door frame and the scaffold, he was electrocuted.
