Narrative

The plant was shut down for maintenance including the 440 V lines. The 110 V line was left energized. Three employees were moving the rectifier equipment back into place when one of the employees touched something and felt hot like he was shocked. It ran through both arms. An EKG showed changes in his heart rate and he was hospitalized.
