Electrical Safety

The electrical current in regular businesses and homes has enough power to cause serious injury and, depending on the individual circumstances, death by electrocution. Electrical injuries can be caused by a wide range of voltages but the risk of injury is generally greater the higher the voltage. Every year, many accidents at work involving electric shock or burns are reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Most of the fatal incidents are caused by contact with overhead power lines. Even non-fatal shocks can cause severe and permanent injury. For example, shocks from faulty equipment may lead to falls from ladders, scaffolds or other work platforms. Those using or working with electricity may not be the only ones at risk – poor electrical installations and faulty electrical appliances can lead to fire, which may also cause death or injury to others. Most of these accidents can be avoided by careful planning and straightforward precautions.
