Injured worker was preparing to open our Hazmag crusher to do clean up and adjustments. He was at the switch box to start a small electric pump motor which runs the hydraulics used to open a crusher. He pushed the ON button (or threw the disconnect lever), and an electric arc blew open the box door, causing flash burns to arm of injured worker.
