| At 12:00 p.m. on July 21, 2017, Employee #1, a construction site superintendent was working at a multiemployer construction project, a commercial building. He was at the bottom of an elevator pit and welding pieces of rebar to construct a permanent ladder down into the elevator pit. He was operating a Lincoln Electric arc welding machine at 120/240 volts. As Employee #1 laid down the stinger of the arc welder in order to clean the weld he had just made, his arm contacted the welding rod that was in the stinger, and he sustained an electric shock to his arm. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was treated for the electric shock and released that evening. | |||||||
