Electrocution Injuries at Construction Sites
Posted on September 04, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Electrical construction site hazards injure thousands of workers every year. An electrocution accident can happen when proper precautions are not taken. The majority of electrocution injuries result from:
- Improper tagout/lockout procedures
- Faulty wiring
- Unsafe work procedures
- Inadequate training on the recognition and avoidance of electrical construction site hazards
- Unsafe work conditions that are not identified during regular inspections of the jobsite by a competent person
- Not complying with electrical safety standards
The applicable electrical safety standards include:
- The National Electrical Code (NEC) -- minimal safety requirements for inside a building
- The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) -- minimal safety requirements for outside a building
- OSHA safety standards -- 29 CFR 1910.269
