A water pipe bursts, flooding a General Business Company (GBC) utility room and tripping the circuit breakers on a panel in the

room. GBC contacts Hal, a licensed electrician with ten years of experience, to investigate the damage and turn the breakers "on." Hal attempts to turn on one of the breakers without testing for short circuits, which he knows should be done. Hal is electrocuted, and files a suit against GBC for damages, al­leging negligence. How might GBC defend itself?

Answer:

As a licensed electrician of 10 years Hal should be aware of the risks associated with his job. Now, I'll tell you of all of the mistakes and unnecessary risks that made by Hal. First, seeing a there was no mention of a plumber, I'm going to assume that the utility room is still flooded. If it is not still flooded then ignore this and move on to my next point, but if it is then I would just like to say that as a man with 10 years of experience, he should be aware of the fact that water conducts electricity. Second, even if the electrocution didn't involve the water, as a professional he should be competent enough to wear proper safety equipment. And finally, if I was GBC I would hire another electrician to point out every mistake made and how the entire thing could have been avoided if Hal hadn't decided to cut corners.

I hope that helps! :)
