Network rail has been fined ￡75,000 for failing to ensure the health and safety of people working in one of its depots.rnThe prosecution, brought by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR), followed an incident in February 2007 at a depot in Chadwell Heath in Essex, where a worker received an electric shock after cutting into a live cable.rnThe man had cut into the buried cable with a hacksaw, believing it to be a redundant oil pipe. He suffered extensive burns to his hands, forearms, face, neck, groin and chest, and has been unable to work since the incident because of his injuries.
