The sight of electricity department workers climbing utility poles without essential safety gear has become all too common in Himachal Pradesh, especially near Shere Punjab. These workers are often seen scaling poles without safety harnesses, helmets, or gloves, exposing themselves to life-threatening risks with every task.

The absence of proper protective equipment not only puts these individuals in constant danger but also raises pressing questions about the department’s commitment to employee safety and the protocols in place to prevent accidents.

Lack of Safety Measures: Who is Responsible for Mishaps?

In an industry where a minor error can lead to serious injury or even fatality, the lack of safety measures for electricity department workers is deeply concerning. Without any safety harnesses or basic protective equipment, these employees are at risk, and the question arises: who will bear the responsibility if an unfortunate mishap occurs? This negligence highlights a severe lapse in safety standards and worker welfare that demands immediate action.
