Our safety consultant just called me and was telling me about another contractor that worked on Medium and High voltage systems that died this week. He sustained major injuries from an Arc flash. He was in a manhole troubleshooting some cables, when he decided he found the one that was bad. He proceded to cut this cable, but it turned out to be the wrong one and was still live. He lived several days after this with major burns. He was a very experienced lineman, and this one little slip up cost him his life. Be careful out there guys!
