Narrative

Before noon on June 4, 2019, a marine inspector was conducting an inspection on board a fishing vessel at a shipyard. As the employee was climbing out of the vessel's anchor chain locker, he was shocked by a damaged extension cord running through a chain attached to shelving on a bulkhead. He suffered nerve damage to his thumb and thermal burns to his forearm muscle, and was hospitalized.
