The employee was stripping the insulation from a conductor as he was rewiring some equipment. He received an electric shock and sustained minor burns on his thumb. He had followed lockout procedures. However, postaccident investigation by the company discovered a jumper in the control box. The jumper should have been removed before the machine left the factory. When another unit was energized, voltage fed back through the jumper, energizing the machine's wiring. (The wiring was deenergized at the time the machine was locked out.) | |||||||
