Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:00 noon on June 5, 2002, Employee #1, a circuit breaker technician and wireman, was working on a panel in the newly installed main electrical power distribution and motor control center. He was using a non-insulated keyway punch to make a slot in a button hole in a cabinet door when he inadvertently contacted an energized 48-volt AC busbar that was grounded between the busbar and the cabinet's door. Coworkers saw the flash and heard a boom, and went to investigate. They found Employee #1 walking away from the panel and assisted him to a nearby hose, where they put water on his head, arms, and hands. Employee #1 suffered second- and third-degree electrical flash burns to his head, face, arms, and hands, for which he was hospitalized.
