Who is responsible for the death of a worker inside a commercial shop due to an electrical shock from a dilapidated refrigerator—the electricity provider company or the shop owner?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The owner of the electric company and the owner of the commercial store are not liable for the death of the worker unless there was negligence or transgression on the part of either of them, such as the company supplying an excessive amount of electricity or the store owner employing the worker in a faulty refrigerator without informing him. However, if the worker was aware of the danger and accepted to undertake it, then neither the owner of the store nor the company is liable.
