Submitted By -Lineman Killed While Attaching Stinger
A lineman was killed in NC last week while attaching a transformer stinger from a bucket. He was wearing all safety equipment, including sleeves and leather protectors, but no rubber gloves beneath the protectors. He had apparently been using an old pair of protectors as work gloves and made a fatal mistake. Nobody else realized that he wasn't wearing rubber gloves, please don't ever use protectors for ANYTHING other than to cover rubber.
