Investigation Summary
On August 6, 2010, Employee #1 was working on an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) air handling unit that had not been cooling adequately. The "lockout" procedure did not include deenergization at the power supply or application of locks. Therefore, although the unit was shut off, it was still energized. Employee #1 was observed falling from the stepladder. At least two people tried to find his pulse but could only detect "fluttering". It apparently took Cleveland EMS (emergency medical services) 15 minutes to arrive. Employee #1 was killed, and the coroner found "probable electrocution" to be the cause of death.
