## Narrative

On December 5, 2023, an employee was changing out batteries in a battery cabinet. As he was routing a battery cable through a tray, the insulation boot came off the plug, which then touched the frame of the battery cabinet. This caused an arc flash that burned the knuckles of the fingers on the employee's left hand.
