Narrative

Employee stated he was welding in confined space with a sweaty t-shirt on. While holding wand in left hand and another tool in right hand, he leaned over a metal pipe and when his shirt touched the pipe he felt an electric jolt through his arms and chest. Ambient temperature was 98 degrees and heat stress could have been a factor in the employee's condition.
