## Narrative

Employee was checking voltages and fuses on an electrical switch at the main plant.  While checking the fuses, he had the meter setting on Ohms.  When he started checking voltage, he forgot to change the meter's setting.  When he checked the voltage, the phase to phase contact caused an electrical flash when the meter's probes came in contact with the current.
