Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on August 18, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were removing the 120/240-volt electrical panel at a building in Doraville, GA. The two men had arrived at work at 3:00 p.m. dressed in tank tops and jean shorts and were waiting for Georgia Power to deenergize the circuit, which was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Before Georgia Power arrived, however, they began to remove the panel by disconnecting circuit breakers and removing the panel's supports. At approximately 4:00 p.m., the coworker was on a ladder above the panel, and Employee #1 was standing on the ground in front of it when there was an arc flash and fire. The workers were transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment. Employee #1 suffered severe burns over 60 percent of his body and died on October 15, 2007. The coworker's legs were badly burned and he was sent home to recover.
