Investigation Summary
On October 3, 2003, Employee #1, a welder, was working on a job at Blommer's Chocolate. His supervisor had brought a stick welder, but it had the wrong plug. The supervisor and Employee #1 decided to switch plugs with a wire welder they had been using for the past week even thought the plug on it did not fit or mesh properly. Employee #1 was removing the plug when he was electrocuted. Apparently, Employee #1 thought he was removing the plug on the welder, but instead he had removed the cover from a receptacle on the extension cord.
