Investigation Summary
On April 16, 2002, Employee #1 was renovating an old outdoor lighted florescent sign on the roof of a frozen custard stand. The job involved installing 16 new socket ends, 2 new ballasts, and new wiring to all 8 florescent light tubes. The input voltage was 110 volts-AC to the ballasts, and 590 volts-AC output from the ballasts. When the wiring was completed, Employee #1 re-energized the circuit, but only six of the eight lights worked. He went back over to the sign to diagnose and repair the problem, but failed to de-energize the circuit. Employee #1 was holding live wires with his bare hands when he was electrocuted.
