ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED PARTS
A supervisor was connecting an elbow onto a straight run of PVC conduit. He was pushing the free end of the elbow up into the bottom of a pad-mounted, live-fron t, 8-kilovolt transformer vault. Experiencing difficulty, he opened the inner co ver of the vault and stuck his right arm down into the vault to move obstruction s out of the way. As he was standing up, removing his right arm from the vault, he contacted the energized primary conductor while his left hand was in firm con tact with the grounded metal cover. The employee was electrocuted.
