Investigation Summary
TWO EMPLOYEES WERE RELOCATING THE WIRING FOR A 15-KILOVOLT CIRCUIT FROM ONE CABINET TO ANOTHER IN A POWER ROOM FOR A PAPER MILL. POWER TO THE MILL WAS OFF, THE BREAKERS WERE REMOVED, AND THE TERMINALS HAD BEEN TESTED WITH A 'GLOW' STICK AND FOUND TO BE DEENERGIZED. HOWEVER, PROTECTIVE GROUNDS WERE NOT USED. THE EMPLOYEES HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE CONDUCTORS FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR WHEN THE CONDUCTORS BECAME ENERGIZED FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE--POSSIBLY A PORTABLE GENERATOR. ONE EMPLOYEE WAS ELECTROCUTED, AND ANOTHER RECEIVED SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCK AND BURNS AND WAS HOSPITALIZED.
