Thanks for the link Joe.

I'm 69 but with no pre-existing conditions that I know of..
That's why I'm concerned I'm just wondering how long this facility at Central will be open.
 I'll probably post something on the other thread too.

The facility at Central is probably staffed by Bangkok Hospital staff and will only last as long as the Malls are closed, that's what's happening here...

Mr. Naruesirn Dokmaiklee, 52, who is Mr. Montri’s employer told reporters, “I have already warned him about wearing proper safety equipment many times before. Additionally, he often would attempt to do additional work outside of his scope, which we believe was the case in this incident. He attempted to connect wires that he was not trained on which resulted in the unfortunate accident.”

 

The ladder isnt a proper tool to do this work. It is even metal.

The employer should have provided proper safety equipment. Were his handtools isolated up to the power where he was working on? The proper tools cost more money, so how serious is the employer?  

Why he would do additional work outside of his scope ? Probably was ordered. 

Working should be only with power of line. And then use the 3M rule. 

Check your meter 1M, then measure 2M and then check meter again 3M.

An electrician not being trainend to connect wires? Then it is not an electrician.

 

In my country, if you are not dead then, you get fired. Already for using that ladder.

You are responsible and if you just think you cant do it safe, then dont and refuse.

You do need then to argument your refusal. But it is your life!

You can get pressured sometimes to do it, but just simple refuse.

 

Sad situation again with electricity. You really cant underestimate electricity, it kills you in a jiffy.

 

A witness, Mr. Phonchai Witayapraparat, 45, told reporters, “I was inside my house relaxing when I heard a man crying for help.”

“I rushed outside and saw the man being shocked. I removed a wire from the transformer to cut the electric current before calling for help.” Phonchai stated.

 

Not an electrician and removed a wire, meaning almost 2 died.

Indeed a very ' amazing ' story, as in all the years i have lived here I 've never seen them use a steel ladder....

The house owner would appear to be an electrician since he is reported as having removed a wire from the transformer.

Then the owner is probably a better electrician or just more lucky....

Cant answer your question regarding Expatvac in Phuket. 

Perhaps they think the Sandbox vaccination program should have covered everyone there.  (my thoughts only)

 

 

Is the Sandbox program for ostriches, digging their heads in the sand???

Slowcoach ????.....In and out in 55 minutes in Kalasin today, including the post jab 30 minute wait (for which a bottle of water was provided !).

 

The softest jab of my life...never felt a thing. About 20 falang men, aged over 60, plus a 30'ish Asian who obviously qualified on the 100+ kg. rule.

 

Super service with a nurse/punter ratio of about 3 to 1.

 

Living out in the sticks does have its advantages !

Do you think a bottle of Sang Som could be an option? ????

Interesting comments from his employer. A death waiting to happen.

In Eu a Company boss / manager is liable for this kind of accidents. Can end up in huge fines or jail sentence....

You can try again with a different email address and omit the last letter of your forename on the application, which could be explained as a typo on your part. I was able to re-register after receiving the rejection email using this method.

I replied to you in the other topic. Thanks for advise.

I omitted the last letter of my forename when I re-registered using an alternate email address after receiving a rejection email and was successfully registered again.

OK, update; I did it with yet another email address, and also 'forgot' a letter in my name. So far it seems registration is confirmed...

Now just wait........Some kind of message. Thanks a lot for advise.
