Abstract: At 11:20 a.m. on December 21, 2016, Employees # 1 and #2 were replacing fuses in a switch gear cubicle. While standing on a ladder, Employee #1 came into contact with live exposed parts, resulting in him suffering second and third degree burns to over 40 percent of his body from arc flash burns. Employee #2 observed the incident and reacted by knocking Employee #1 from the ladder to release him from contact with the live part. This caused Employee#2 to receive an electrical shock and permanent damage to one of his hands. Both Employees #1 and #2 were hospitalized and treated for their injuries sustained.
