Investigation Summary
On April 28, 2003, four employees, consisting of two electricians, one journeyman, and one apprentice, were attempting to remove a 500 MCM cable, conduit, and breaker. The conduit contained the cable and the cable connected to the breaker. All four employees were located on a roof of a commercial building for this work. The conduit was disconnected from the main power supply and the circuits were opened. As they reached the end of the conduit, the cable quickly released and struck Employee #1. He lost his balance and fell backwards through a skylight, which was 20 feet above the lower level of the building. Employee #1 was hospitalized and pronounced dead due to injuries sustained.
