WorkSafe says an electric shock which cost an Auckland scaffolder both his arms could have been avoided

Jahden Nelson was dismantling scaffolding in April last year when a steel pole he was holding contacted an overhead power line in Auckland's Massey.
His employer, CPA 2022 Limited, has now been sentenced for its health and safety features.
The work site had been given a Close Approach Consent - which required the crew who put the scaffolding up, also take it down, for safety reasons.
But WorkSafe found none of the dismantling crew, had been involved at the start.
