Narrative

After making electrical repairs at the dragline, the injured re-set the three (3) 480 volt breakers and while examining the circuit panel, one of the breakers suddenly 'blew,' causing the injured to sustain burns to his face and neck area. He was taken to the local hospital where he was treated and admitted over night for observation.
