Narrative

An employee was in a bucket truck putting wires together. A jumper came loose from its insulation and touched a piece of metal on the backside of the bucket. As the employee was going to install another jumper, it contacted his tie-off point and energized it. A hydraulic hose was damaged and hydraulic oil misted out and caught on fire. The employee sustained first- and second-degree burns on parts of his upper back and torso.
