Narrative

An employee on a ladder was removing wiring from a junction box in the ceiling while doing demolition. He removed the wires and placed wire nuts on them. The white neutral wire was hanging down. When the employee started to climb down the ladder, he touched the wire with his hand and it shocked him. When he pulled away from the shock, the fast motion broke his scapula.
