Fatal Mistake: When Lockout Procedures Are Ignored

A fatal electrocution in Quebec has exposed shocking safety failures. In June 2024, a worker suffered a 600-volt shock at a wastewater pumping station after the main switch wasn’t padlocked—a crucial lockout step to neutralize energy before work.

CNESST’s investigation uncovered deeper issues: a project manager failed to enforce energy control methods, and the employer relied on worker experience instead of guaranteeing proper procedures. The report is clear—providing safety equipment and instructions isn’t enough if protocols aren’t enforced.

This tragedy is a wake-up call: neglecting lockout procedures puts lives at risk.
