Narrative

While checking rotation of the piggy backs in the pit, the pig was rotating backwards. Employees switched the electrical wires inside the junction box. When turning the power back on it caused an electrical short which made the employees run into one another. Our employees fell to the ground injuring their right shoulder. The employees were located 200 feet away.
