The electrician was repairing an electrical fault at the retailer's warehouse. The metal spanner he was using came into contact with a live metallic strip linked to the power distribution, which caused an electrical explosion. HSE's investigation found there was insufficient planning between parties beforehand. The retailer - fined £1 million - also failed to appoint a suitably competent person to plan and carry out the work to connect temporary generators to their distribution board at the premises.
