Electrocution
Electrocution is a serious and potentially deadly hazard that can occur in a variety of industries, particularly those that involve exposure to electrical equipment and wiring.

Such risks may be the result of faulty or negligently installed wiring, downed power lines that aren’t repaired in a timely fashion, and buried power lines that are insufficiently or improperly marked.
Electrocution can cause a range of injuries, from mild shocks and burns to severe cardiac arrest and neurological damage. These injuries can have a significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences for workers and their families, including medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term disability.
