Thameslink high voltage shock costs Balfour Beatty Rail 400k pounds

摘要

Balfour Beatty Rail Projects has been ordered to pay 400,000 after a rail worker was seriously burnt when he touched a 25,000 volt overhead line during work on the 6.5 billion Thameslink rail programme. The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) prosecuted the company after investigating the incident, which happened in March 2011 while rail workers subcontracted by Balfour Beatty were installing autotransformer feeder (ATF) cable near Cricklewood in north west London as part of the project to improve north-south travel through London.
