Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on May 22, 2018, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by an electrical services company, were preparing to install electrical wiring.

As he removed the fish line from the pipe, the line came into contact with an energized busbar conducting 480 volts. An arc flash occurred, and Employee #1's hand was burned. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for second degree burns to his hand.
