Narrative

An employee was moving a metal manifold with a jib hoist. The employee lowered the manifold onto the cart and was using both hands to position the manifold. The pendant struck the metal manifold and hoist lifting hook and broke the back cover off which exposed the live electrical terminals. The terminals then contacted the metal and shocked the employee resulting in a burn to the back of their left leg. The employee was hospitalized.
