Investigation Summary
An employee was working beneath a 480-volt cabinet inside a wind turbine tower. He repeatedly pushed against three cables to access a bracket. The cables pulled loose and created an electrical fault. The ensuing electric arc burned the employee and started a fire. The employee was initially treated at a medical facility, released, and directed to go to the company doctor the following day. After the injured employee visited the company doctor, he was transported by ambulance to a different medical facility, where he was hospitalized 6 days for second- and third-degree burns to his neck, face, and hands and to an ear.
