19 Nov 2024 Hydro One Networks Inc.Hydro One and supervisor: CA$262,000 after contact with live line Canada, ONWorkplace safety and accidents €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).

What organisations can take from it

De-energising alone is not enough – adjacent lines that remain live must be covered, and supervisors are liable for oversight.

What organisations can take from it

Providers of market and price data must ensure that their products do not disseminate individualised competitor data.
