Employee Is Killed When Cutout Is Energized

On September 3, 2010, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a backup generator. They were testing the main cutout switch from the generator to the switch-over gear. The coworker was at the cutout and Employee #1 was at the generator, twenty feet away, but within sight of the coworker. Communication had been established between the two employees that the cutout switch was about to be tested. When the cutout was energized by the coworker, Employee #1 was in contact with the lower amperage 110-volt sensing circuit and was electrocuted and killed.
