Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on November 30, 2000, Employee #1 was working for a general contractor at construction site for a school. The employee had worked for the company for 2.5 years installing drywall. On the day of the accident, the employee was trying to locate an extension cord set to begin a job. He found an extension cord set that was not being used. The cord was strung over a block wall located outside on the school grounds. The employee went around the back of the block wall and unplugged the three-prong attachment plug on the heavy-duty cord. He came back to the other side of the wall to gather up the cord, and while doing so, the plug end became stuck on the wall. Employee #1 pulled the cord, causing it to jerk free, and the attachment plug hit him in the eye. The eye injury caused Employee #1 to stay in the hospital for one week.
