Investigation Summary
At 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 2019, an employee was connecting an old conductive wire to a new conductive wire for replacement. The attaching connector sleeve detached from the new wire, causing the new wire to pivot upwards and make contact or come into close proximity to an energized line. An arc flash occurred, burning the employee through his rated flame resistant clothing. The employee was hospitalized from burn injuries to his abdomen, face and head.
