Working on high tension cables and no PPE in sight. Let's blame Fashola.
Those wires never had any power running through them in the past, Under Minister of Darkness, things are improving(the worker never got the memo)!!!!!

I doubt he is a staff. The way NERC takes all these safety issues, there is no way a DISCO will allow the staff to not wear PPE. Probably on illegal duty.

No safety gadgets.

I cry for this country.

He would have survived it if it were in GEJ govt.

There would have been no power in those lines or at worse, poor current.

Aish . He could have been saved if he had a helmet on. R.I.P

Not only helmet, but also rubber gloves and safety boots. KERDCO should be penalised for not taking staff safety into consideration. RIP to the dead! cry
Re: Electricity Worker Electrocuted Today In Kano (Photos) by restored2016(m): 6:26pm On Aug 19, 2016
Taking things for granted! He isn't even wearing a glove let alone a helmet and he climbed a high tension pole to correct what! Couldn't that line be switched off! Anyway RIP to the dead.

That's why it's good to be using helmet and gloves while on the electric pole. RIP

No safety boots or gloves...what kind of engineering practice do we even have in Nigeria.
Why do we endanger our lives?
80% of accidents that occur in Nigeria can actually be avoided.

Too bad

Imagine.....they people that came to rescue him are not even safe cry cry cry cry...i pity this country
i can bet he is not an engineer, maybe a technican. No engineer can be too careless to do it without his/her safety kits. R.I.P to d dead

That is a distributionion line not transmission. I guess you meant 33kv since Nigeria distributes at 11kv or 33kv.

I don't understand why he is working on a live line .
Repairs or reconstruction could be carried out hot, but only with adequate ppe for that particular type of job.

I swear to God that the guy is surely under a spell, a serious one for dat matter. You climb a 33Kv pole without glove or even helmet. Please, who does dat? Even me wey dey work under 12v dey put glove for hand.
1. NEVER DISRESPECT ELECTRICITY. 2. THE VOLTAGE RATING IS NOTHING BUT DO U KNOW D CURRENT RATING? CHECK OHMS LAW. 3. GOD WILL SAVE ALL OUR NEPA PEOPLE EVEN THO, DEM DEY FUMBLE SOMETIMES BUT ALL D SAME, GOD WILL PROTECT DEM.

RIP TO D DEAD
Very correct, a HT linesman with no gloves and hard hat is really somehow. Tho that's actually an 11kv line

. Properly rated for that matter... Not just any glove. 33/11kv lines are no jokes. Even 415 lines will fry a human being

When are we going to embrace safety culture in government parastatals We just lost a fellow citizen because the system don't want to change in spite of the change chant echoing in the air.An activity like this is suppose to be carried out after appreciating the hazard in the task and putting control and recovery measures in place. Too bad, anyway, this is naija.someday,things will get better so we have been saying from time on.

RIP fellow citizen of naija
