I would guess an electric shock? Which doesn't sound as bad as it should, but it should also include the level of burns incurred and if they suffered cardiac arrest or similar.

For example, the employee suffered electric shock from the unsecured 480v power line resulting in second degree burns to their arms and back and were resuscitated after suffering cardiac arrest.
