Investigation Summary
An electrician was standing on a fiberglass ladder, cutting a metal cable on a 120-volt, 20-ampere, single-phase circuit. When he stripped the metal armor from the cable, he contacted an energized conductor, received an electric shock, and fell approximately 1.5 meters to the floor. He was transported to a hospital, where he died either from electrocution or from injuries sustained in the fall.
