Show Notes
Andy Shannon, a worker at The Boring Companys Las Vegas site, suffered burns from an arc flash while connecting parts on a portable substation transformer. Despite planning to de-energize the equipment, Shannon proceeded alone, skipping a pre-task briefing and using uninsulated tools. The incident led to his termination for repeated poor judgment and gross negligence. Nevada OSHA investigated, finding issues like missing personal protective equipment and skipped procedures, but cleared the company, blaming employee misconduct. This incident is another in a series of safety concerns for The Boring Company in Las Vegas.
