| Summary Nr: 202649067 | Event: 09/12/2011 | Employee Electrocuted In Contact With Live Junction Box | ||||
| On September 12, 2011, Employee #1 and Coworker #1 were working for their employer as electricians. Their assigned task was to install emergency lighting in a walk-in refrigerator that was being installed in a supermarket under construction. The top of the refrigerator had a clearance from the ceiling of approximately 21 inches, and Employee #1 climbed on top of the refrigerator. Employee #1 was connecting the wiring from the refrigerator's emergency lights to the power source that was in a junction box located on top of the refrigerator. The junction box was operating at 480 volts, and it had not been locked out. Employee #1 contacted the live junction box and was electrocuted. | ||||||
