Investigation Summary
On October 11, 2007, Employee #1, a painter, was standing at the top of a metal ladder and holding a shorter ladder on the roof that was being used as a work platform by a coworker. The roof was steep and the shorter ladder was anchored on a plumbing vent. Apparently, during a previous roof repair, a nail had been driven through metal flashing and into a 110 volt wire that ran over a roof truss instead of under it. The energized flashing electrified the gutter against which Employee #1's ladder was perched. When Employee #1 grasped the short ladder that was hanging on the grounded plumbing vent, a circuit was completed and he was electrocuted.
