Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:47 a.m. on or about January 1, 2003, Employee #1 was assisting coworkers in the removal and replacement of metal roof decking on a 3-in-12 pitched roof. He was was holding a section of 9 ft 4 in. long by 3-1.2 in. wide sheet metal roofing when it contacted a three-phase overhead power line carrying 7,200 volts of current. Employee #1 was electrocuted. The lines were not covered, protected, or de-energized and grounded. The line that was contacted was 5 ft 6 in. above the roof surface and 4 ft in from the roof edge. The building owners knew that there would be work conducted near the power lines, exposing the workers to the hazard of electric shock.
