Investigation Summary
On September 22, 2003, Employee #1, a roofer, was tying in the roof of a new gymnasium addition to a school building. He dropped a roll of flashing tape that landed on a 9 ft high walkway canopy that was 3 ft below the gym roof. Employee #1 jumped down onto the canopy and picked up the tape. He was trying to climb back to the roof when he suffered an electric shock and fell to the concrete floor. Employee #1 sustained multiple fractures, for which he was hospitalized. Subsequent investigation determined that the ballast of one of the canopy electric light fixtures had a bird nest inside of it. This caused a ground wire to break and, combined with the close proximity of the metal canopy, transferred a 109 volt current through Employee #1.
