Mexican Man Miraculously Survives After Being Electrocuted while Illegally Messing with Power Lines

VIA National World News:
Irregular provision of a service, such as the wiring of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) without informing the parastatal, is being investigated by the Civil Protection Directorate, Roberto Briones Mota, the head of the agency, announced.

Following the accident where an employee of Company 2830 suffered a 13,800-volt shock that caused third-degree burns to his hands and arms, Civil Defense reported that they were investigating the operations of the companies involved.

“We don’t know how the two companies are doing, who contracted the service and who was providing it, all we do know is that they were going to do the wiring for the CFE pole without officially notifying them, Because it is a special task of the Commission” said Briones Mota.

The official said the employee, about whom no general data has been provided, lacked not only safety equipment but also experience, which put him in a very high-risk position.

“The worker was going to lay cables, for that they have to inform the CFE so they can make sure there is no risk. (The injured) should not be doing the work, he was not wearing safety equipment, not even gloves, we thought he was doing something else and here the lack of experience and knowledge came together,” he reiterated.
