Investigation Summary
On May 27, 2003, Employee #1 was electrocuted when he contacted the energized metal entrance to a metal building. A worker had wired a water pump motor to an electrical circuit by wrapping the three hot leads with black electrical tape. Two of the leads were not wrapped completely and did not cover the energized wires. The grounding wire was not connected and was not bolted to the frame of the motor. The motor was sitting on concrete, next to the metal building. When motor operated, it rocked and the energized wires made contact with the metal building, which energized the entrance that Employee #1 contacted.
