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."

b. What is the main issue in this case?
