Incident on Jul 5, 1994: Electric shock - direct contact with energized parts
A sales engineer for an electrical systems engineering firm was in a department store at a mall. He was preparing a bid for the installation of a ground-fault p rotection system. During the on-site evaluation, the employee asked the mall wor kers to remove the cover from an electrical cabinet so that he could examine the busbars. The engineer stuck his entire body into the cabinet, over energized bu sbars, to measure the distance between the three busbars in the back with a non- conductive tape measure. As he was performing this task, his arm contacted one o f the busbars, and he received an electric shock. The engineer could not free hi mself from the energized parts, so the other workers, who saw him in trouble, gr abbed him by the shirt sleeve and by the belt and pulled him out. The employee w as hospitalized with a broken left shoulder and a separated right shoulder.
