Abstract: At 2:45 p.m. on May 2, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a power line construction company, was operating a battery operated, hydraulic, crimping tool to install clips on an underground cable inside a pad-mounted transformer. The crimping tool was not insulated. The crimping tool cut through a 120-volt cable, which caused an electric arc flash. Employee #1 was burned in the arc flash. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where he was admitted and treated. His injuries included first degree burns to his face and second degree burns to his left arm, hand, and fingers.
