Final narrative
An employee in the field was troubleshooting an operation control issue on a 480-volt irrigation pivot. While perched on the built-in ladder, the employee's screwdriver made contact with an energized contactor screw, resulting in an electric shock. The employee was temporarily disoriented, felt chest pain, and climbed down from the equipment. The electrical shock caused an irregular heartbeat.
