Narrative

On May 9, 2025, an employee was reattaching a box to the exterior of a pump panel. As he used an impact driver to fasten a screw in the panel's frame, the screw nicked a feeder wire behind the panel, resulting in an arc flash. The employee suffered burns to the right hand and forearm, as well as burns to the fingers of their left hand.
