Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on April 15, 2005, Employee #1, a master electrician in the state of Maryland, was subcontracted by a Calico Corners store to install a switch that would make it possible to turn the store's lighting on or off without the use of breakers. A short circuit in the main disconnect caused an electric arc, and he suffered second-degree burns on his right elbow. At approximately 8:30 a.m. on the same day, Employee #1 sustained second- and third-degree burns from wrist to elbow on his left arm from a second arc that was caused by another short circuit in the main disconnect. The extent of his injuries required that he be hospitalized. Employee #1 failed to lock out the equipment before beginning work, and still had not locked it out after the first accident.
