West Auckland scaffolder fighting for his life after high-voltage electric shock

Mildred Armah Reporter from Western Leader

A young father of three has suffered from severe burns, had both his arms amputated, and is now fighting for his life in hospital, after suffering an electric shock on a scaffolding worksite in West Auckland on Tuesday, April 19.

Toni Paikea​, mother to Jahden Nelson, said Nelson was holding a steel pole when it touched low-hanging overhead power lines.

Paikea said her son was electrocuted as he took the entire voltage of that power line. She said he suffered a heart attack on site after electrocution.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
