High Voltage Powerline ContactSaddened, Upset, Dismay, Confusion – this is something I can comprehend, but why should the family of this person have to whenever they think of how this could have happened when there are systems in place to prevent this?

Worker Dies In Contact With Powerline

Everytime I hear this news I often think, “what if I had been able to contact this company BEFORE this accident happened?”  But I also know, many companies do not believe that their employees are in any real danger during the day to day operations, and yet when this happens I shake my head and say it could have been prevented, but the cost of the device was just too high for their purchasing department.

So lower the price you may be saying, I could lower the price to where It’s a zero margin for our company and even then, unless someone is hurt within the company/organization, the people involved in the decision simply don’t see the benefit.

Do I sound like I’m whining?  Maybe, I am for the families who have lost loved ones needlessly.
