@dudewithbike I have a ton of respect for the guys that do this... but 150k a year?? for this amount of danger? Some IT guys get more than that and they barely handle more than 240v on a daily basis...

Nope, this is an incident at the Barranca Ecopetrol refinery in Colombia, it was fatal. You might be confused because it's featured in the safety video for the Palo Verde incident in Arizona.

Se os dois trabalhadores estivescem usando os equipametnos de proteção individual necessarios conforme manda as normas de segurança, não teria acontecido este tipo de acidente com vitimas fatais.

Did induction for power station 2 day. I watched this video. Apparently they were workin on the wrong bit of power station which was not isolated. Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This shit aint funny man. People DIE doing this. Proper training and PPE only do so much to protect somebody. This happens all to often, even WITH the proper procedures in place. All negative comments about this type of accident are uncalled for, ignorant and in bad taste. Go back to flipping burgers for 3 bucks an hour. Ill stay here and make 150G a year.

@JaMMeRHiLL - agreed. I doubt he survived really. Regulations where I work stipulate that anyone working on live gear has to wear suitably rated arc flash clothing.
