With bare hands? This is just one of the shortcuts we engage in instead of doing the right thing. Too bad. |

If this is true then something is wrong with the safety culture of the organisation they work for. It is not news anyway that almost all organisations in Nigeria have very bad safety culture and lack proper implementable and robust HSE-management systems. Photos show they were not fully kitted with PPEs. Bad communication for Isolation of Power Source. Poor behavioral safety on the part of the second individual who tried to rescue his colleague. His decision was wrong. Any Electrical Engineer who rushes to save his friend in such a manner must have not been properly trained. Or was trained a long time ago with no refresher. No doubt at times we act on impulse. Confined Space and Electrical Risks are one of the hazardous conditions which require tact for rescue. It is not advisable to rush to rescue anyone in these two situations without considering the possible risks to you the rescuer. 2 Likes |

So, the "saviour" didn't realize he needed to cut the power first before going on his rescue mission? |

Me think the story is false.
which EDC is it?
one cannot be electrocuted on HV line and remain intact.
no one can ever come to evacuate a dead man at the risk of loosing his own. 1 Like |

As an engineer very much knowledgeable in this field-electrical I doubt the authenticity of this report. First that is a high tension line and no engineer works on it without asking for isolation. Even when isolated trained engineers bridge the phases in case one mad operator energizes the circuit. Lastly power engineers have contact number to call control room if situation like this occurs for isolation and are trained never to attempt rescue with bare hands. This can only happen if the guys were quack. 2 Likes |

That HT for Christ sake, were they working on high tension without calling for outage? May they rest in peace. |

UnknownT: If the story seems true , I know it is standard to seek for an outage especially when working on lines transporting more than 415v . for God sake 11kv is more than enough voltage for someone to work on without taken an outage . 1 Like |

chrisxxx: You did have a knowledge about it . from the look of things and the presence of j and p fuse , that's a 11kv that went directly to a transformer . I doubt if they would not seek for an outage prior before working on that line. 1 Like |

My first impression of the 3 pictures tells me it looks more like those two engineers are alive and working on that pole (maintenance/repair) and a 3rd guy is holding the ladder. Questions to think about: Why hasnt anyone confirmed this story? How will a trained engr go up that ladder without PPE and expect to bring the other guy down? Why will that 3rd guy holding the ladder still have courage to be holding that ladder when the two men up don die? "Epic" LIB story |

Re: EDC Official Electrocuted Trying To Rescue His Colleague (photos) by chrisxxx(m): 7:43pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
snadguy007:Bros u r complicating issues. It is a 3-phase circuit. U can never ask for a single phase isolation. Single phase isolation will cause humming of transformer. |

From the picture,something went terribly wrong...it seems they were working on the HT not LT,and from what i know,you DON'T work on HT while the power is on!!I'll say again:You DON'T work on HT while the power is on!!!...It might be that someone knew they were going to watch on HT and intentionally switched it on...All the same,it's a sad story,RIP! |
