Submitted By -Tightening Hardware
2 weeks ago Red Simpson had a lineman in Tulsa Ok electricuted.He is 23 yrs old and in critical condition.He was tightening hardware on a single phase pole .He was standing on a transformer hangertightening a ridge pin,cut out or slipped (no one is talkin)and made contact with the top side of an open disconnect.This is not the first occurance in Tulsa.There was also a flash burn incident less than a year ago.Not to mention the property damage.In this line, with out proper training, on-the-job training can be deadly.No amount of money is worth death or disability. Also I think the guy has a wife and child.Just some more food for thought. Be safe, Be Trained,and live longer
