Re: Handyman Electrocuted to Death Inside a Restaurant Kitchen
I love how the air conditioner was in just the perfect place to cradle him. I have a feeling the fridge and AC have done this before

Re: Handyman Electrocuted to Death Inside a Restaurant Kitchen
As a person who works with electricity quite often (and in the US), there are a million ways to get electrocuted, and there are also a lot of reasons to work around exposed, live wires, especially in a troubleshooting scenario with refrigeration. A couple of points: 1. Breakers wouldn't have saved this guy, the human body doesn't draw the same amount of current as a direct short or a ground fault, it's more of a slow roast. 2. There's no reason to assume this guy isn't a professional following (most) safety protocols, and there are justifiable situations wherein you have to work in a higher risk situation, hence the training. 3. Unfortunately, a lot of employers are less scrupulous and pressure workers without adequate training to do work above their ability (been there) or there have been dangerous "handyman" repairs performed by untrained people who know just enough to be dangerous (been there far more often). In short, this guy got fucked pretty bad, but I wouldn't assume it's because he's in China (I'm assuming) or that he was being reckless of his own accord. Electricity likes to hang on  |

That chef diligently reported the bum in the blue shirt for lying down on the job.
