Employee electrocuted while recharging heat pump compressor

On June 1, 2004, Employee #1 had helped a coworker install a new heat pump compressor. He was recharging the compressor with refrigerant when its bare terminals contacted a fan capacitor. Employee #1 told the coworker, "I've been shocked." He walked approximately 11 ft 6 in. away from the pump and then collapsed. Employee #1 was transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Norton, VA, where he died that same day. The compressor was not de-energized before the recharging was started.
