BURN - ELECTRICAL FAULT AT GENERATOR TERMINALS

An employee was working for a contractor that was engaged in excavation and shoring. The employee was assigned to operate a 120/240-volt, 4800-watt electric generator used to provide power to stud-welding tools. At the start of his shift, while the generator was running, he connected the supply conductors for a tool to the generator's terminals while they were energized. An electrical fault occurred at the terminals, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee's right hand. He also received an electric shock. He was hospitalized with second-degree burns.
