Employee electrocuted while servicing panel box

On June 8, 2005, Employee #1, of Current Communications, LLC, was working alone in the power room of the Verizon Commack Central Office. He had been assigned to remove six 100-amp circuit breakers and their associated shielded conduits. There were no eyewitnesses to the event, but a telephone company worker found Employee #1 lying on the floor, dead, apparently the victim of an electric shock. The 800-amp electrical panel box remained energized during the removal process. Employee #1 was not wearing personal protective equipment, and no insulating material was wrapped around the energized bus bar. At the time of the accident, he had removed five of the six circuits.
