Narrative

An employee was on site troubleshooting magnetic door holders and investigating a short in the low voltage wiring. She was on a 6-foot ladder in the access hatch of a first floor rotunda when she located an unmarked junction box near the assumed trouble area and removed the cover. She then came into contact with a high-voltage bare wire (287 volts) and received an electrical shock, requiring hospitalization.
