Investigation Summary
On August 22, 2003, Employee #1, a house painter, and several coworkers were painting a vacant apartment on the third floor of a building. The electricity had been turned off, so she ran an extension cord from a wall outlet in the first floor laundry room up two stories and through the doorway of the apartment and then closed the door. Employee #1 plugged the extension cord into a 3 ft long double male plug jumper cord, which she then plugged into an outlet in the apartment to back feed electricity to the circuit. A short occurred, and Employee #1 suffered an electric shock that knocked her unconscious. She had not protected the extension cord from being pinched when she closed the apartment door.
