Rite befor lunch on the job I was on we see ambulances driving by .
Then we see our general Forman run into his car and speed away.
toward a job were doin a mile down the road everyone on the jobsiye had a bad feeling .
turns out a mechanic from our company got injured and the ambulances was for him.
the next day gf wouldn't tell us anything about the inscodent just told everyone no
one works on live circuits and that oshsa will be coming by all jobs so wear safety gear.
the only way we found out the condition of our coworker was from a plumber on the job who said their was an explosion and the worker is burned up and you couldn't tell it was him his face was un recognizable .
we all felt terrible and tried to find out more
the plumber told us but who knows that he was working on live 480v
and thought he was landing a neutral bc it was mislabeled and
when he tried to land it in the enclosure it ach flached
and caught on fire . It was either a service or some type of feeders .
Or maybe it was a phase mislabeled and was a phase to phase we don't no.
again not sure on details bc the company is not telling us anything .
Actually the boss told me he was working in a dead switch with no power so
he dosnt know how this could of happened .
Although I feel like the mechanic should've tested all phases
with tester phase to phase and phase to ground to make shure what he was landing
I herd something was mislabeled down stream that's y I think it was phase to bc he wouldn't mistake a neutral for a phase conductor but who knows.
. Theirs no reason why he should be working on live equipment like this and now he
Is going to be disfigured and have injures for the rest of his life
and he got burned .
This is all could have been stoped if they did shut down or took better precation
feel terrible that this could've been stoped.
once I find out the details I'll know what exactly happened but shop won't tell us anything
seems like their tryin to cover their ass.
how many fines are they going to get?
im shure worker is going to sue?
i wish I new the details on what happened so I could understand better on the scenery
but info is hard to get .
