Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on June 6, 2007, Employee #1, an electrician with Amtech Lighting Services, was servicing a three-phase 277/480 volt electrical meter panel fuse box. As he was working, a fuse block on the panel exploded, resulting in a flash fire. Employee #1 sustained burns and was transported to the Grossman Burn Center, where he was treated for about 20 days. Subsequent investigation determined that the fuse box was not effectively protected from unexpected or inadvertent energizing. The employer was cited for a serious, accident-related violation of T8CCR 2320.2(a).
