Flash Arc Burns Electrician

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on September 12, 2008, a worker was cutting a hole in a plastic electrical splice box (12-kV, 3-phase underground power lines) using a reciprocating saw (Milwaukee 6515-20 Sawzall 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Reciprocating Saw, S.N. 971G604390458). As the worker was cutting the hole, so that he could insert the end of a conduit, he struck the energized high-voltage line cable which caused a flash explosion. He received flash burns on his left arm, hand and face, which required hospitalization.
