Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 p.m. on October 1, 2007, Employee #1, a licensed apprentice electrician working for an electrical subcontractor through a staffing agency, started his first shift at the job site. He was assigned to remove acrylic overhead light fixtures and replace them with parabolic light fixtures. Employee #1 had been working approximately two hours when he was electrocuted. The subcontractor had a licensed electrician at the site who supervised and directed all of Employee #1's work activities. The Supervisor did not ensure that the lighting circuit had been de-energized throughout all of the re-molding phases.
