Investigation Summary
On May 13, 2008, Employee #1, who was working under the direction of Hilbers Construction, was exposed to live energized equipment and systems when assigned the job of demolishing the electrical equipment in the electrical room. The creating and controlling employer, B&H Electric Inc., did test and prove all electrical equipment; wires and circuits were deenergized prior to releasing electrical demolishing project to Hilbers laborer employees. At approximately 10:20 am, Employee #1 cut into the electric cables with a reciprocating saw and then tried to push the cables into the conduit with a steel hammer. The feeders landed directly on the energized 480-volt, 1,200-ampere bus and caused an electrical fault. The ensuing electric arc burned the employee.
