The Mercury reports that a KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) worker who was performing his duties at a nature reserve fell from scaffolding on Saturday and had to be rushed to hospital.
Mi7 National Group director Colin David reported that the group's Emergency Medical Services was dispatched after reports that a worker fell from scaffolding at a nature reserve. David said when paramedics arrived at the scene they discovered that a man was working from the top of the scaffolding when his head touched an exposed live electrical wire. “He was shocked and fell about eight metres to the ground,” he advised. David said medics administered Advanced Life Support interventions to treat the man for electrical burns. The man was also treated for injuries sustained from the fall. The patient was then transported to hospital for further treatment.
