Procon-RJ autua dealership electricity accident that killed four
Four people from the same family, including a baby of nine months, died after falling from a power cord
The Procon Rio de Janeiro assessed the electric utility Ampla by accident in Sao Goncalo killed on Sunday (3), four people from the same family - including a baby for nine months. The victims were electrocuted after falling from a power cable of the concessionaire.
Company is responsible for supplying power to major cities in the metropolitan area
The Procon explains that the assessment is due to the fact that the provision of public services provides that utilities must provide adequate service meeting the safety conditions. "If there is a possibility of a medium voltage cable break and reach the public highway, it is evident that the service is not being provided with the necessary security. Such cables by virtue of the tension involved should undergo regular inspection or not to install on a public road, "says snippet of text.
Ampla has 15 business days from receipt of the assessment, to present a defense. If the deadline is not met or the arguments are not accepted by the legal department of Procon, the concessionaire will be fined - with value yet to be defined.
