[brother]

This one really is close here. I know some people that work in that area. The ELECTRICUTION of this woman to me was just uncaused for!! She was working on light fixture maintenance . this is part of an email i got. also read the news link. When will we (ELECTRICIANS) learn and stick TOGETHER (stop layoffs, firings etc..) to stop the forcing of working HOT!!??

IBEW Electrician, Kat Engnell, was killed at work,Thursday, November 20, 2008, during the day shift at the SaintGobain glass plant. Kat was up on a metal platform, like acatwalk, doing lighting maintenance. It is normal to work on equipment up there while it is still ?hot?, unfortunately, while Kat was changing out a 500W 120V fixture, after making sure that the ground and neutrals had both been made up, she was electrocuted and died. ?She was found by a Local Brother working on sight who stayed with her body until the fire crewgot her down and took her away.....
