Abstract: An employee was handling a film-developing tray full of solution with his bare hands. He was using a fish tank heater to warm the solution. When he touched the hot heater to the cold developer solution, the glass tube encasing the heater broke. The heating element inside the tube contacted the solution and caused a ground fault. The employee received an electric shock and was rendered unconscious.
