Investigation Summary
At 2:30 p.m. on October 10, 2011, Employee #1 was installing recessed lighting on the second floor of a building. A supervisor reportedly deenergized the power to a 277 volt line hanging from the ceiling. Employee #1 positioned a 10 ft ladder to access the installation area. He climbed the ladder and used a one-week-old Milwaukee electrical proximity tester to test the insulated covered wire. Employee #1 did not get a reading from the tester. While holding the cable coming from a "J" box in his left hand, he pulled off the scrap sheath with his right hand. Employee #1 contacted an energized 277 volt wire, fell from the ladder, and landed on his back and head. After evaluation at Med Stop Urgent Care, Employee #1 was hospitalized at Sierra Vista Hospital for unspecified fracture(s).
