Investigation Summary
At 1:15 p.m. on August 22, 2019, an employee was removing fuses from a 4,160-volt substation cabinet. As the employee was removing the canister fuses, his right arm came into contact with the feeder line and his left arm came into contact with the left side of the panel door. This created a circuit and caused the employee to become shocked. The employee suffered electrical shock, fractured ribs, fractured vertebrae, burns to both elbows, and cardiac arrest. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
