North Central Aggregates · Flash burns (electric)
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.
