Narrative

Employees were using a chain hoist to lower parts down into the tunnel. One employee grabbed the chain on the hoist and had EE's hand on the handrail, which created a ground, causing EE to receive a shock of 270 volts. The 480-volt outlet was wired incorrectly. The employee was taken to the clinic, evaluated, and returned to work with no ill effects.
