Investigation Summary
At 10:22 a.m. on July 28, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was performing electrical work at a multiemployer construction site, a medical building. He was installing a new circuit breaker in an existing, live, 480-volt circuit breaker panel. Three straps, each with one screw, were required to install the breaker. Employee #1 had installed two straps and was working on the last strap when he dropped the screw. The screw struck live parts, causing an arc flash. Employee #1 was burned in the flash. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for burns to his face, arms, and chest. The subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 had not been wearing eye and face protection or arc flash protection.
