19 Nov 2024 Hydro One Networks Inc.Hydro One and supervisor: CA$262,000 after contact with live line €176,633
While copper conductors were being installed on a de-energised 44 kV line, a piece of conductor touched the uncovered 4.8 kV line running below it; a worker was seriously injured. The network operator had not complied with the safety rules for work near energised equipment. Fines of CA$250,000 (company, 19 November 2024) and CA$12,000 (supervisor, 13 August 2024).
De-energising alone is not enough – adjacent lines that remain live must be covered, and supervisors are liable for oversight.
