    Cal-OSHA probes death of worker By Melanie Payne, SacBee
    'Working with electrical and natural gas is a very, very dangerous occupation,' said Eric Wolfe, communications director for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245, to which Imai belonged for 29 years. 'We stress safety ... yet people still die because of the inherent dangers of the job. It just takes one slip or one thing that happens out of your control and you're gone.'
