Investigation Summary
An employee was removing conductors from a conduit. He was pulling them through a transformer switch box. A bare equipment grounding conductor touched an energized circuit conductor inside the box, causing an electrical fault. The ensuing electric arc started a fire inside the box and ignited the employee's clothing. The employee sustained second- and third-degree burns to his face, arms, hands, and stomach. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
