People need to know the dangers of their line of work and of any situations they might be asked to be involved in because people wont pay attention to health and safety if they don't know why it's in place.

What a sting. They completely deserve to be cited and be made aware of their violation by being fined. It really is a timely reminder to other electrical companies that they must have fool proof safety policies in place so their workplace is safe and that they do not get hit with a citation from OSHA. As can be seen here, they were actually very simple things and could have easily been avoided. It looks like O’Connell Electric did not bother locking out and tagging out the circuit so that their employees knew not to re-energize it. This is one of the first things I get my employees to do before they start their work. Ouch! What a sting. They completely deserve to be cited and be made aware of their violation by being fined.
