Electricians

Electrical current poses a serious occupational hazard, as electrical injuries can affect workers in various kinds of jobs. There are four main types of electrical injuries: electrocution (fatal), electric shock, burns, and falls caused by contact with electrical energy.

In 2002, 411 people in the U.S. died from electrocution. Occupational electrocution deaths occur almost entirely among males and are most common in the 20â€“34 age group. Electrocution ranks fourth, at 9%, in industrial cause of death.

Electricians are the workers most vulnerable to electrical injury as they deal with electricity all day everyday. They must, therefore, follow strict safety procedures to avoid injury. Occupational electrocution is also common in the construction, mining, agriculture, forestry and fishing industries, with roughly 3,600 disabling and 4,000 non-disabling electrical contact injuries occurring every year in the U.S.
