Worker Died Due to Pole Falling on Him
Worker Died Due to Pole Falling on Him
The deceased was taking part in work which consisted of him and a few other colleagues to take out emergency repairs to low overhanging cables and replace them with insulated cables.
It is believed the deceased was up a pole when colleagues decided to cut four wires in which was connected to the pole which then made the pole unstable, snap and fall to the ground resulting in the death of the worker.
An investigation took place in which it was confirmed that there was no notice on the pole in which to advise workers of an ‘unstable’ pole and there was no supervisor supervising the work that was being taken place at the time of the accident.
A post-mortem has revealed that the 28-year-old deceased died due to accidental death when a pole he was strapped to fell and crushed him.
