Abstract: A production maintenance worker and his supervisor had just replaced an ultraviolet light at a conveyor. The circuit for the light was deenergized. The supervisor had to leave for a short period and instructed the maintenance worker to wait until he returned and not to touch anything. The maintenance worker then turned around to check the circuit supplying the light he had just replaced. As he was bending down, his knee contacted an energized circuit directly below the one he was checking. He received an electric shock and third-degree burns to his left knee. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
