Employee Is Burned by Electric Arc Flash

On September 26, 2013, Employee #1, an electrical worker with both Clackamas Electric Inc. and Russell Construction Inc., was installing plumbing and lighting fixtures, when he accessed a three-phase electrical panel (a live 480 volt 600 amp panel). Employee #1 removed the cover and began removing dead front panel components, when a metal plate contacted a hot bus bar and grounded on the panel frame. This created an arc flash, which burned Employee #1's left forearm, and face, and neck. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
