Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:55 a.m. on January 18, 2013, Employee #1 was securing an electrical splicing cap in place when he inadvertently contacted an energized high voltage electrical conductor in an underground vault. Employee #1 was in an underground electrical vault to remove a temporary electrical conductor from an energized electrical line. After Employee #1 had removed the temporary conductor he replaced the protective plastic cover over the bundle of conductors and began to secure the cover to the bundle. While Employee #1 was securing the cover, his left middle finger, his right palm, and his right forearm inadvertently made contact between the energized conductor and a ground source, resulting in third degree burns to the fingers of his left middle finger, right palm, and his right forearm. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital's burn unit where he stayed for several days.
