Investigation Summary
On October 25, 2007, Employees #1 and #2, of Peoples Electric, were installing a temporary branch circuit for a tower crane to be built onsite in preparation for constructing an addition. They were in the electrical room of the existing building, installing a connector onto the ground for the new circuit when an arc flash occurred. Employee #1 suffered second- and third-degree burns to his face, arms, and hands. He died on November 7, 2007, as a result of his injuries. Employee #2 suffered first- and second-degree burns to his face and arms, for which he was hospitalized. The cause of the arc flash is not known. Neither Employee #1 nor Employee #2 was wearing adequate PPE for working on or near live electrical parts, and no other safety precautions were taken.
