Careless and negligent at best. Missing a full suit for that size switch and old mate behind him an apprentice most likely. Hes lucky it didnt go worse.

I'm sure that guy is just a maintenance worker. He talks about how he didn't open the panel because "it's their shit," and he knows about backup generators on site. Poor guy probably got a call in the middle of the night that alarms were going off and just came to unlock some shit.lol.

At least he had safety glasses on. They would have been better if they were dark to keep from blinding him.

Yknow if I had a nickel for every time in the last month I've seen someone with gear working on electrical nonsense get arc flash'd to the face, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happen twice
