Investigation Summary
Two employees were troubleshooting a problem with a hospital air conditioning chiller system. The employees opened a 4160-volt electrical cabinet to check fuses and other components. One of the employees touched a terminal with a lead from a low-voltage, hand-held voltage tester. The tester failed, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee's hands, arms, and face. He was hospitalized with second- and third-degree burns.
