Can you think of even one job or occupation where you never have to lift? I can't. Lifting is very much a part of our everyday jobs. And, because it's something we do so often, we tend to do it automatically, without thinking.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), studies electrocutions occurring between 1982 and 1994. The NIOSH researchers analyzed 224 electrocutions that resulted in 244 workplace fatalities. The information they learned provides valuable lessons for everyone that works with or around electricity.
