Narrative

The miner rigged the scaler into the DUB 6 heading. EE hooked up the trailing cable to the DEA electrical disconnect. When EE attempted to turn the switch on EE's right hand came into contact with a mounting screw for the breaker switch lever, which was energized. EE received an electrical shock to EE's right hand which was later found to be 291 volts.
