When used correctly, electricity essentially goes unnoticed. But, if something goes wrong, there may be injuries, death, fires and costly equipment and building damage.
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.
