Michigan FACE Report No. 03MI020
Earlier during the day of the incident he told one of the other custodians that he was going to get the “bulb gripper” extension pole to change the light. These bulb changes were often done with a man lift. The victim knew he was not certified to use the man lift, because his lack of training had prevented him from using the lift on other jobs. He had another conversation around noon with the school athletic director during which he indicated he was going to have to get an extension ladder, because he was not able to change the light with the extension pole. The light he had been trying to change was a floodlight type bulb. The extension pole with a “bulb gripper” did not work, because the gripper was designed for typical standard light bulbs, not the floodlight type bulbs in use. After his fall, the extension pole was seen hanging on the wall in the custodian’s closet. ... [Read More]

Michigan FACE Report No. 03MI079
On June 30, 2003, a 37-year-old male Department of Public Works (DPW) employee was electrocuted while attempting to read a water meter that was located behind an apartment boiler. The boiler room was lit by one overhead 40-watt light bulb. The meter was located near ground level. There was approximately a two-foot gap between the boiler and the back wall. He placed his water meter logbook on top of the boiler. Bracketed on a water pipe near the boiler was the boiler’s low water cutoff switch. It is unknown if the switch cover was on the switch when the victim tried to maneuver between the water pipes and the boiler to read the water meter. During his attempt to read the water meter, he contacted exposed, 120-volt energized low water cut-off switch terminals with his right chest. Following contact with the terminals, he collapsed and became wedged between vertical pipes coming from the boiler. The low water cutoff switch cover was found hanging under the victim’s chest. A ci ... [Read More]

Edison:The Life of Thomas A. Edison
Edison focused on the electric light system in 1878, setting aside the phonograph for almost a decade. With the backing of financiers, The Edison Electric Light Co. was formed on November 15 to carry out experiments with electric lights and to control any patents resulting from them. In return for handing over his patents to the company, Edison received a large share of stock. Work continued into 1879, as the lab attempted not only to devise an incandescent bulb, but an entire electrical lighting system that could be supported in a city. A filament of carbonized thread proved to be the key to a long-lasting light bulb. Lamps were put in the laboratory, and many journeyed out to Menlo Park to see the new discovery. A special public exhibition at the lab was given for a multitude of amazed visitors on New Year's Eve. ... [Read More]
