Everyone please pray for him they rushing him to the hospital now
investigation would typically examine: 1. Whether the contractor notified PECO. 2. Whether PECO was asked to de-energize, relocate, or protect the lines. 3. Whether OSHA minimum clearances were maintained. 4. Whether proper spotters, barriers, warning systems, or insulated equipment were used.
PECO’s published standards state that when construction activities may occur in the vicinity of overhead transmission or power lines, contractors must contact PECO in advance so the utility can review the project and determine whether protective measures, relocation, insulation, or de-energization are necessary. Construction near transmission lines without the required notice is described by PECO as “potentially dangerous” and “absolutely forbidden.”
Not a job for the illegals
@philadelphiaUser1991542001 Whoever owns the project should be covering work related injuries peco was on scene since and they are still assessing the property I said they was building too fast it’s already a building in less than six months of being an abandoned lot and there’s never been peco presence until now
