Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201401130

Event: 09/03/1997

ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED CONDUCTOR

Three employees were removing asbestos from a beam in a basement electrical vault at a health care facility. Some wall-mounted fuses were enclosed with plywood. This enclosure had a 1.2-meter by 1.2-meter hole at the bottom of the left side. The fuses were covered with plastic sheeting (Visqueen) to protect the employees from contacting them, and two of the employees stuck their ladder through the hole at the bottom of the plywood enclosure to access the beam and scrape asbestos from it. When they finished scraping the beam, one of the employees started to remove the plastic. As he was doing this, he contacted an energized conductor and sustained an electric shock and burns. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
