TWO ELECTRICIANS WERE REPAIRING A 600-AMPERE BUS DUCT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WAS STANDING ON A METAL LADDER, CLOSING A DISTRIBUTION BOX MOUNTED ON THE BUS DUCT SYSTEM. THE EMPLOYEE HAD A PROBLEM CLOSING THE LID ON THE BOX BECAUSE OF AN INTERLOCK. (THE LID WAS CONNECTED, BY MEANS OF A FLAT PIN, TO AN OPENING IN THE BOX.

BOTH EMPLOYEES RECEIVED SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS FROM THE ENSUING ELECTRIC ARC. THEY WERE HOSPITALIZED FOR THEIR INJURIES.
