By Shuntel Glasgow

Amid concerns that employers are getting off scot-free in cases where workers die on the job, the mother of a teenager who was electrocuted is calling for justice for her son and accountability.

In May, the police and the Ministry of Labour said they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 19-year-old of Lot 105 Covent Garden, East Bank Demerara, who was electrocuted while installing gutters on a three-storey building under construction at 27 Norton Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown.

Bryan Hardial, who was employed as a gutter installer by Unitech Awning and Shutter Manufacturers, was electrocuted while installing gutters on the building.
