Investigation Summary
A SHIPYARD EMPLOYEE HAD TRANSFERRED FROM ONE SHIP'S HULL TO ANOTHER AND WAS DRILLING HOLES IN FLOOR BRACES OF THE SHIP'S STRUCTURE.

THE EMPLOYEE WAS USING A THOR POWER TOOL COMPANY 0.5-INCH, METAL-FRAMED, PORTABLE ELECTRIC DRILL (MODEL NO. 6909D, SERIAL NO. 935984). THE EMPLOYEE HAD COMPLETED DRILLING PILOT HOLES AND WAS CHANGING BITS WHEN SHE RECEIVED AN ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM THE 120-VOLT DRILL.

THIS CONDUCTOR WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE FRAME OF THE DRILL, AND THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR WAS ALSO BROKEN. THE EMPLOYEE DIED FROM THE ELECTRIC SHOCK SHE RECEIVED ABOUT 10 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
