Apparently three or maybe four Indian or Pakistani building site workers were electrocuted a few weeks back while wheeling a scaffolding tower around outside and striking overhead lines in Mawaleh.
An eye-witness told me that they had objected to moving it because of the cable danger, but their "handler" (who wasn't going to be touching the metal scaff-bars anyway) told them to get a move on and that it was fine!
The witness said that there was a flash and all the men were burned and died.
(Sounds like they were high tension lines to me.)
Has anyone else out there got any info on the above?

2 People died in the incident if i am not wrong and 2 more seriously injured.
It was a clear ignorance of HSE policies when the work was being carried out, head this from the SQU H where the injured were taken to.

Thanks for the info.
I wonder if the employers will give a FAIR pay out to the families of those involved or will they just give a shrug and blame it on the workers.
After all, that would be the "local" thing to do wouldn't it?

What a tragedy. It wasn't reported in the papers.
