Its a life taker if you do.

That's the claim, however I've yet to find any incident report that
supports that claim. In every "lineman killed by improperly connected
generator" report I've read (and I've read quite a few) the ultimate
cause of the incident and fatality was the lineman failing to follow
their mandatory procedures and ground the line before working on it.

No...the ultimate cause of the fatality was some yutz not disconnecting
from the main while running a generator.

Cites? I've read numerous OSHA accident reports and not one supported
that conclusion.

Oddly enough..that was right at the top of the google search list...

Sorry, but that in no way supports you claim and is also not an OSHA
report. There is no "supposed to be dead" in the lineman's handbook,
there is only "tested and grounded before working bare handed", a
mandatory procedure that will prevent injury in *all* generator back
feed cases as well as the many cases of poor coordination between line
crews.



And in each and every case..the genny owner paid a very expensive price
for killing someone.

False convictions. The US's pathetic legal system is rife with them. I
do A/V work with a lot of attys. doing pre-trial research with test jury
pools for technical civil cases and the jurors rarely ever come up with
the correct verdict. The whole legal system is designed to select the
least qualified, most emotionally manipulatable jurors - it's just a big
scam.

No wonder Liberals havent all been killed yet. They are so easy to
manipulate.

It's generally liberal attys. manipulating the poorly educated, and that
demographic leans toward the conservative side, though the liberal side
is catching up in the "poorly educated" race. It's all part of the Great
Global Tidy Bowl Swirl (tm).
