Details of Event
Deceased was repairing in a pass-bye on the main haulage road which has a wet floor, when he came into contact with a bare part of one of the power cables and received a fatal shock. The current was two-phase and the voltage 200. The cables were suspended by strings hung from insulators fixed on the bars, and apparently the suspending strings had stripped off the insulation of the cable where deceased touched it.
