Electrocutions were the fifth leading cause of death from 1980 through 1992 for American workers. Electricity is present at most job sites, and many American workers, regardless of industry or occupation, are exposed to electricity daily while working. Potentially hazardous exposures can happen through contact with a wide range of items, running from something as innocent seeming as a broken light bulb to an energized overhead power line. An electrocution injury is often life altering and life threatening if not life ending. Exposure to high voltage wires is a deadly scenario for any worker.
Speed Over Safety
When a worker suffers a serious and life threatening injury as a result of unsafe conditions and poor safety practices at a work site, it is generally because of a company’s decision to put profits over people and speed over safety. Often it is caused by a problem that was known, but ignored until it was too late and someone was permanently injured.
