Narrative

The employee was using a screw driver to attach an electrical disconnect handle in an electrical box. The power on the load side of the box was shut off, but the line side was energized. The victim slipped while working on the handle and the screw driver he was using came in contact with the line side of the box causing an electrical arc and flash.
