WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Purdue University will update warning signs at all high-voltage areas, including the one where the body of an electrocuted freshman was found, the school said Wednesday.
The university will bring the signs on older buildings to the newest standards for high-voltage facilities, school spokeswoman Jeanne Norberg said.
Buildings constructed or renovated after 1981 are required to post signs on doors of rooms containing more than 600 volts of electricity, according to federal safety codes. Owen Hall, the dormitory where the body of 19-year-old Wade Steffey was found Monday, was built in 1957.
