Sorry to hear of this incident...it sounds VERY PREVENTABLE and a real SHAME.
This is why there is NO JOB THAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE TO BYPASS SAFETY.
This fellow apparently failed to follow the established safety guidelines that are in place to prevent incidents like this. Had he shut the power down to that panel and used the proper LOTO and PPE he may have had no problems.
There is NO JOB that important!
"Our work is never so urgent or important that we can not take the time to do it safely."
If you do not know how to work safely YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED to be working on energized or de-enegized circuits! You are a hazard to yourself and others!

IF YOU CANT WORK SAFE IN THE ELECTRICAL FIELD WE DONT NEED YOU!

TAKE TWO AND THINK IT THROUGH!
just my thoughts.

Greg
