Investigation Summary
On July 2, 2003, Employee #1 and a coworker were testing a de-energized electrical transformer using Doble testing equipment. Employee #1 was on top of the transformer, while his coworker was on ground at the Doble machine. Both employees needed to simultaneously push a kill switch, which was a push button on cables, to perform the test. The coworker noticed an error in the test and was looking up when he saw Employee #1 fall over. The coworker summoned the plant guard, who notified Emergency Services. Employee #1 was transported to St. Margaret's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
