Hi Willem,

Great find with the International Journal, very interesting reading and to surmise its content i would say that it recommends consultation with the workers surgeon so that they are aware of or visit the workers work environment to give a recommendation regarding suitability of continued EMF exposure?

Hi Stephen

We have specific flowcharts for both electric shock and head injury – due to possible delayed symptoms and complications.

Recently, a MainPower employee received a minor electric shock when investigating cut/stolen earthing conductors on a 11 kV recloser circuit breaker pole. The pole site was then isolated, and the employee repaired the cut/stolen earthing conductors. The employee continued working for the rest of the workday. There was no follow-up…
