Narrative

An employee was preparing the floor slab of a parking garage for abrasive, sand-injected water blasting. During this process, an electrical conduit was uncovered. Not wanting the water associated with the blasting process to accidentally enter the PVC conduit, the employee attempted to seal the conduit with tape. The employee then contacted a live, energized electrical conduit and was electric shocked, suffering nerve damage and leg pain.
