Investigation Nr: 200260438

Event: 07/08/1998

ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED PARTS

An employee was working from a 1.8-meter fiberglass ladder, making final connections for some 0.6-meter by 1.2-meter overhead fluorescent lighting fixtures that were located at ceiling level about 2.8 meters from the concrete floor. The lighting circuit apparently became energized, and the employee was electrocuted. (He also fell from the ladder.) The employee was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
