Plant #2 Metal/Non-Metal

Employee and a coworker were attempting to dislodge a piece of concrete which was jammed in the equipment chute. One side of the piece freed up before the other and struck ee in the mouth. Ee was wearing his hardhat, safety glasses and dust mask. Ee received cuts on his mouth and chipped teeth.

Employee was going to rewire a conveyor at the electrical breaker box. He turned off power at the box but did not turn off the main generator that supplied power to the box. A ratchet that he was holding came into contact with a grounding lug inside the breaker box. This resulted in an arc flash which burned the backside of his hands.
