Yesterday one of our members experienced a serious electrical accident in regional Queensland.

As a result, an electrician is badly burnt and in a serious condition in Brisbane hospital.

Investigation is currently underway to determine exactly what has occurred.

We ask all members to keep this electrician, his family and our valued member in their thoughts today.

We work in a hazardous industry where the consequences of an error can be fatal.

Please take extra time to talk to your people about safety today, so we can all get home to our families alive and well.
