Two electricians suffered facial burns in a flash fire when they attempted to carry out work on a switchboard during work to replace a temporary generator with a mains supply for the landing stage at the Liverpool Pier Head ferry terminal in April 2009.
The employees were permitted to install a new fuse into the switchboard whilst it was live. As this was being done an explosion occurred resulting in severe burns to one man's face which required four days in hospital. His colleague also sustained facial burns.
An HSE inspector commented that "One of the workers suffered severe burns in the flash fire but luckily his glasses prevented his eyes from being more badly damaged. He still needed three months off work to recover and gets flashbacks of the incident. The proprietor should simply never have allowed the work to go ahead without the power being cut."
The proprietor admitted a breach of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and was fined £8,000 plus £4,766 in costs.
