According to OSHA, electrical hazards cause more than 300 deaths and 4,000 injuries in the workplace every year.
These injuries aren't isolated to any particular industry or occupation. In fact, practically all members of the workforce are exposed to electrical hazards every day. Over half of all electrical fatalities are not even in traditional electrical fields. The victims are general laborers, drivers, maintenance workers, and managers — those least likely to be educated about the hazards. Most electrical accidents result from unsafe equipment and work practices — which coincidentally can also affect system reliability.
