A case being investigated by WorkSafe reminds us to beware of overhead power-lines, especially when working from elevated work platforms.
A man was killed recently after being electrocuted by power-lines while trimming trees in Melbourne’s south east.
The incident involved a 26 year old worker who died when the cherry picker platform that he was on came into contact with live power-lines in Hughesdale.
Emergency services were called to the scene but the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.
