## Narrative

The operator of the Volvo EC380 Excavator was on the ground fueling the machine with a cord (24v-used to fuel machine as needed) and the male end was not covered to prevent contact with metal. The male end came in contact with the metal frame causing a arc flash. The operator was scared, jumped back and tripped falling to the ground.
