Narrative

A crew was installing new facilities next to an existing sub-station in a high voltage switch-yard. After the new component was placed on its pedestal, an employee began to install a bolt and received an electric shock to his hand due to induced voltage the new equipment picked up from the existing energized equipment that was approximately 25 feet away. The employee's right hand was injured.
