Investigation Summary
On February 3, 2006, Employee #1 was trying to open the side doors on the main panel box in an equipment room to measure the voltage and amerage readings. The 480-volt, 400-amp breaker was energized. He was using an uninsulated screwdriver that he had borrowed from the building's engineer and his bare hands to remove the plastic plate screwed into the panel when an arc blast occurred. Employee #1 suffered first-, second-, and third-degree burns to his face, arm, and hand. He was transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical System Burn Center for treatment.
