Abstract:
At 6:21 a.m. on September 17, 2020, Employee #1 and Employee #2, both working on a unit substation HVL switch, removed the backside feeder panels and began wiping down the 3-phase 12kV lines. While performing this task, Employee #1 made contact with the C-phase of the live line, resulting in an electrical shock. The employee became stuck to the component. Employee #2 quickly grabbed Employee #1 and pulled him off the live component. Employee #1 and Employee #2 suffered second- and third-degree burns and internal thermal injuries. Emergency services were called, and both employees were transported to the hospital for admission and treatment.
