Hey Lee County - here's one in your backyard

The News-Press reported that an electrician had an accident yesterday in a City of Cape Coral Park. It seems that he was working on a hot line when he received a shock that made him fall and hit his head. I guess since the City of Cape Coral doesn't have a safety director anymore, the electrician figured lockout/tagout procedures weren't necessary.

Anyway, here's a good training example about the types of injuries caused by electrical hazards. It could have been worse if he had been working at an elevation. So, was this an electrical accident or a fall accident?
