Abstract: On October 5, 2009, Employee #1 was working for a company that was removing existing overhead light fixtures, cleaning them, and then reinstalling them in a different pattern on the ceiling. Employee #1 was working in an elevated scissor lift, connecting a flexible conduit to an existing electrical junction box. The 277-volt circuit to the junction box was not deenergized and Employee #1 did not check if the wires were energized, before he began working on them. Employee #1 received an electrical shock that inflicted burns to both of his hands. He was able to tell a coworker that he was shocked, and was able to text his father and a friend to tell them that he was shocked. A few moments later, he collapsed. A tradesman observed Employee #1 drop a tool and slump over in the scissor lift. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
