Abstract: On September 17, 2007, Employee #1, an electrical contractor, was repairing the electrical distribution panel at a Target Department Store in Bakersfield, CA. When he opened up the panel, the flash shield fell off because it was damaged from the heat generated by the panel. He was removing the fuses when the panel flashed; he received an electric shock and minor burns to his face and right arm. Employee #1 was transported to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, where he was treated and released the following morning. He returned to work that same day.
