FTS International Services LLC · Flash burns (electric)

Employee was working in the MCC room of the plant dryer checking out electrical contacts. While testing the contacts, the contacts caused a flash while he was standing by the control box. He did not think he had any problems until he woke up the next morning and he had pain in both eyes. He was diagnosed with corneal burns and was given eye drops to releive the condition.
