Came across this on my Aussie forum today. 20yo labourer, electrocuted on his 9th day of work. Electrical Contractor staring down the barrel of prison time.

Another sad example of a string of easily fixed issues that have come together to end one life and shatter many others.

Stay safe people, 'acceptable risks' aren't.

When you are on a job where you know the person that has been killed it stays with you forever. Do whatever you can to prevent and avoid this experience.
