Our goal is to integrate safety into an employees’ daily routine.
Electricity is a necessary part of our workday. It brings great benefits as well as deadly hazards. Everyone should be aware of the dangers and guard against them, especially when working with electrically-powered equipment or wiring.
What are the hazards associated with electricity? Electrocution (death), shock, electrical burns, arc burns, thermal contact burns, explosions, and fires. Usually, electricity travels in closed circuits through a conductor and loads and back again. Shocks occur when your body becomes part of the circuit. When your body is part of the circuit, electric current enters your body from the point of contact and exits at another.
