Investigation Summary
On November 12, 2003, Employees #1 and #2, and a coworker, all electrical subcontractors, were testing the voltage inside an energized, pad-mounted transformer. For some reason, Employee #1 touched the high-voltage side components with a low-voltage tester, causing an arc flash. Employees #1 and #2 sustained burns, for which they were hospitalized. Subsequent investigation determined that the employees did not have the appropriate testing equipment. In addition, they did not have proper training and they were not wearing appropriate personal protective equipment.
