Investigation Summary
On September 28, 2011, Employee #1, a laborer, attempted to attach slings from the crane to a metal bus bar to move it into place. Employee #1 had to lie down beside/between the electrically live bus bar and the unconnected bus bar to make the attachment. His shoulder touched a portion of the live bus bar, which had 2.5 amps running through it. It was enough to electrocute and kill Employee #1.
