Electrical Tragedy
Construction sites are full of electrical hazards, and the services of an onsite electrician is necessary. But sometimes accidents still happen, as evidence from the inquest of the death of a carpenter in Queensland has shown.
Outside of the site’s demolition zone, a damaged light fitting was reportedly identified as being in contact with a metal water pipe, that was also in contact with metal scaffolding. The metal scaffolding is the surface which the carpenter touched.
The problem was, the area was beyond the demolition site, which meant that it wasn’t closely monitored.
Evidence of negligence has yet to be proven.
