Victoria's trams might be going solar powered but their feeder lines are no less hazardous. There's a relatively modest 600 Volts flowing through these conductors, but it's DC so any contact is more likely to be lethal because it causes muscle contraction.

A follow up story to a tragic interstate incident last month that caused one death plus a serious injury. The 54-year-old crane driver was charged with 'disqualified driving' after it was discovered that he was not the holder of a valid driver’s licence when the incident took place.
He will front the Cairns Magistrates Court on September 10. Workplace Health and Safety is investigating.
