Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 PM, on May 21, 2008, Employee #1, an electrician/foreman with Sasco, was sitting near an energized 480V electrical panel located on an underground level of a building under construction. He had just used a Makita 18V cordless drill to remove the bolts from the cover of the panel. When a screwdriver fell into the switchgear, an arc flash occurred, destroying the panel and charring the area nearby. Employee #1 was transported to California Hospital and then transferred the same day to a burn unit at USC Medical Center for treatment of first- and second-degree burns to his face, hands and arms.
