What a tragedy!!
But why don't our artisans use safety equipment like belts helmets etc?

An electrician must be using safety gloves , fall belt and helmet plus safety boots and glasses.

Why risk your life this way.to work for a client without safety equipment?

His Clock has Stopped

E no go use safety wears

Nigerians, WE should all be carefull.

What men go through, indeed 1000 ways to die

Op, you are an inconsiderate pr££k.
Can't you blur out the face at least?
What if he has family members here on Nairaland, would it be nice to see his pic this way?

You means safety belt ?

R.i.p

Rip to him. But for such dangerous work, protection gear should be used. Just imagine he used the helmet, he may have still been alive today

Trying cut light , he died for how much? I just weak

Be like say
His village people from akwa ibom
Find am come Abia

Rip. I won't be surprise he is a family man... Kai.

Rip to the young LAD, But if you see the way most of the electricians behave you will think they are on top of the world...

Rip guy
Most of us climb ladder for our works (engineers) it's a very risky and tasking work when it involves ladder
But one thing we should always take into consideration is ** safety first ** if it's to high for you and you have phorbia for height please don't do it
May God keep protecting us
So terrible
It's well

Is it just me ? Seeing how speedily he's surrounded by casket speaks a deep voice inside me. " Something like in voices of those two men: " welcome customer ! Welcome customer"

Oh lord! As we go out to hustle for our daily bread, we shall not be eaten.



In the other news: I'm presently buying LinkedIn accounts. ,09.02.5.7033.6=6

Rest on

Is it the poverty that makes you lack human compassion?

So sad
Rip to him

God give us this day our daily bread and deliver us from accident

It is the work of the nepa to work on poles and transformers.

No safety 🦺 no safety glasses 🕶️ no safety gloves 🧤 no safety helmet ⛑️no security boot 🥾i saw what he did there

Village people on the beat.... RIP to the dead...

That's a big damage on his head. Gosh! He was not wearing any helmet I guess.

Big question! You know one thing many will say, they are so used to it already that nothing dey happen.
For some that are willing, those things are not always available. Some years back, I got a job (seems na work and not job) as a factory worker in a Chinese Ceramic Company. First day at work, I was shown where I have to work from 7am to 5pm daily. I asked for safety boots, and nose masks (cos the place was filled with dust and very hot), they said those things were not available.
I managed to work that day. I left and never returned, not because I didn't want the job but because I love my life than the pea nuts they said they will be paying me. As a graduate of engineering, I picked the job just to keep myself going and I knew the health implication of inhaling those pollutants.

Real definition of tragic death

Oya sope oti looo!
E don go.

In a saner clime you can't learn electrician by the road side and start practicing. Also it is mandatory to use PPE safety equipments.

Things like this will continue to happen if people continue to ignore safety rules.

Putting health and safety rules in place helps avoid accidents, comply with the law, and protect people in your business.

One of the most severe risks associated with ignoring workplace safety is injury or death.

This situation is completely avoidable
