Narrative

On July 21, 2015, at approximately 8:30 p.m., an employee was sweeping up sawdust and carrying a paint can at the ECG Crankshaft mill in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Conductors were sticking out of the metal conduit beneath a saw table at the time. The employee reached down to pick up the paint can, which then contacted the live conduit. The can exploded, burning the employee's right forearm. The employee was hospitalized overnight.
