Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on October 1, 2014, Employee #1 was installing ductwork. He crawled into a tight space where gas pipes were running across the attic floor. A junction box with faulty wiring coming into contact with metal ductwork causing a neutral current to pass through someone in contact with both the ductwork and a ground path. The employee was electrocuted when coming into contact with the gas pipes and metal ductwork carrying a neutral current. The metallic ductwork was lying across a junction box that did not have a neutral conductor. The neutral wire was tied to a bare wire that was poorly attached to the junction box. Employee #2 tried to assist in pulling Employee #1 away from the workspace and touched the gas pipes for stability, and sustained an electrical shock.
