Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170340822
Event: 09/21/1994
BURN - ELECTRICAL FAULT IN TEST EQUIPMENT

A maintenance mechanic climbed a stepladder to access a 4160-volt cutout box from which three cartridge fuses had been removed. The employee was apparently using a pigtail tester to test the circuit. The severely underrated tester failed, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee. (The employee was working alone and unsupervised, so the exact cause of the accident was unknown. However, the tester was found on the floor in a burned and damaged condition.) He sustained second and third degree burns to his face, chest, arms, legs, and buttocks and died as a result of his injuries.
