Investigation Summary
On April 27, 2006, Employee #1, a helper with a small home remodeling company, was replacing exterior light bulbs at a diner. His ladder was placed against the front facade of the landing between the diner and a neighboring business. Located nearby was a bundle of electrical cables that powered the lights and possibly the HVAC. Employee #1 climbed to the top of the ladder. He was followed by a coworker. Another coworker and an employee of the diner were holding the bottom of the ladder. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 threw himself onto the landing, intending to pull himself onto the roof, but suddenly was seized by tremors apparently caused by contact with an electrically charged cable. He was eventually freed from the current. Employee #1 was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
