Investigation Summary
An operator noticed sparks and a flash coming from a 480-volt cord. Another employee was summoned to repair the cord. This employee took a stepladder to access the junction box to which the cord was connected. He determined the length of the damaged cord so that he could replace it. As he descended the stepladder, the cord touched the metal junction box. The victim received an electric shock and went into convulsions. The injured employee was hospitalized with second-degree burns to his right hand and left ankle.
