Three PHCN employees were yesterday electrocuted at Kogberegbe Street, Isolo, Lagos. One of them had earlier gone on the pole to work before he got electrocuted.

Two other employees were later invited to come and remove his body but sadly, they got electrocuted too. How unfortunate. More photos below.

too bad for them

RIP... Still trying to imagine how he got electrocuted (a pair of hard glove, boot and overall was worn), the rescue team also got electrocuted and how did that happen. Well, I believe some things are beyond the physical eyes.

That place must be d meeting ground for em community witches

rip

Talk of occupational hazards.

Something must have gone wrong

Negligence may have contributed to this. Somebody working in the control room may have left his duty. The electrocuted staff may have also neglected to confirm that the circuit is dead before climbing in rush to safe a coworker. Even when you have confirmed, you still need to isolate the circuit and discharge it of any residue charge since it is a high tension line before working on it. During one safety orientation from my boss, he told me that when a Medical Doctor makes mistake, his patient dies for it. When a Lawyer makes mistake, his client goes to jail but when an electrical engineer makes mistakes on the process of carrying out his duty he pays with his life or a part of his body. Since that day, I don't play with my safety first before anything else.

They should have at least shut down the power before going up the high tension wire. RIP to them

Pathetic
