Investigation Summary
On May 19, 2004, Employee #1, a maintenance employee, was using an argon-gas, single-phase, Miller Tig welder to weld a metal trough back onto a liver machine while standing in water. The welder voltage ranged from 110 volts to 230 volts. As he welded the liver machine, Employee #1 was electrocuted. Coworkers who heard Employee #1 scream and observed him fall backwards, immediately provided assistance by performing CPR. Emergency services were contacted and, upon their arrival, emergency personnel transported Employee #1 to Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, VA, where he was determined to be dead.
