Investigation Summary
On March 14, 2009, Employee #1 was performing an electrical test on a large electrical cabinet (13 - 15,000 KV circuit breaker). The employee was working from a 6-foot stepladder, disconnecting one of the three "shorting" cables. The cables were connected to the cabinet terminals from a three-phase current test set. Employee #1 fell from the ladder and died shortly thereafter. The primary cause of death was believed to be from electrocution, but could have been a result of the fall.
