Liability Risk and Insurance
Bones broken in fall
A technical electrician has been awarded £22,000 after he broke his thigh bone and fractured his wrist in a fall. He was investigating
the cause of a power failure when the injuries occurred. He was in the process of testing various supply cables and found
that the cable from the storm station was down. He therefore had to go to the main substation in order to switch and test
part of the cables.
