Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:40 a.m. on October 1, 2003, Employee #1, a journeyman electrician, was preparing to change the lugs inside a three-phase, 208 volt circuit panel box by moving the three feeder cables out of the way. He was holding two of the cables, one in each hand, when he suffered an electric shock. Employee #1 was transported to Bayview Burn Center, where he was hospitalized overnight. Subsequent investigation found that before the work was started, the employer did not determine whether it was safe for employees to be working in close proximity to live circuits. In addition, the circuit was not verified, by observation or with instruments, to be de-eneegized; the circuit was not de-energized and rendered inoperative; and the circuit was not tagged. It was also determined that the employees needed training in energy control procedures.
