Electrical Hazards
A graphical collection of images, both local and from around the world - highlighting the hazards of working in the proximity of electrical conductors.
An example of high-voltage
electrical arcing when things go wrong.
Note the worker in the foreground - whilst the arc extended about 7.5m further back.
The total "jump" was probably about 20 metres at its peak.

Site of an electrical
accident in 2004 involving an EWP & without the services of a
spotter.
Equipment was being used by a contractor well within the designated No-go-zone.
It's unlikely that contact was made with the 22kV overhead lines but the approach was close enough for electrical arcing to occur.
The force of the current blew a hole in the concrete footpath. Fortunately the worker survived (but sustained serious injuries).
