Abstract: At 7:00 a.m. on or about June 16, 2007, Employee #1 was working in close proximity to energized circuits on the service side of a 480 volt panel board. He was using an uninsulated rachet to loosen the retaining lugs when he contacted an energized conductor, causing an arc flash. Employee #1 sustained serious burns and was transported to the hospital. It was later determined that he was using uninsulated tools and that he was not wearing appropriate PPE.
