Good housekeeping in a machine shop, maker space, or lab

Two employees were working on an e-beam evaporator. While one of the employees was attempting to un-jam a rotating crucible holder at the rear of the machine, the employee experienced an electric shock. At the time, the e-beam source was stated to have been shut off and that the system was in 'process enable’ mode. The system was stated to have been pumped down and that the motor to rotate the holder was on attempting to rotate the holder. GTPD, EMS, and EH&S personnel were dispatched to the scene. The employee received third degree burns.
