Ergon must take responsibility after preventable death
The Electrical Trades Union is demanding Ergon and its CEO Rod Duke take responsibility for asset inspection and maintenance after a preventable accident resulted in the electrocution and death of a 25-year-old pineapple farmer in Bungundarra, north of Yeppoon.
Initial reports state that a stay wire had broken, lowering the height of the Live HV conductors considerably below statutory heights. The 25-year-old harvester was found dead, and six others were injured.
“This incident would have been entirely preventable if Ergon had inspected and maintained their assets properly,” says ETU Assistant State Secretary Stuart Traill.
