Worker Deaths by Electrocution

 

A Summary of NIOSH Surveillance and Investigative Findings

 

ImageMany American workers are exposed to electrical energy daily during the performance of their tasks. This monograph highlights the magnitude of the problem of occupational electrocutions in the U.S., identifies potential risk factors for fatal injury, and provides recommendations for developing effective safety programs to reduce the risk of electrocution. This monograph summarizes surveillance data and investigative reports of fatal incidents involving workers who contacted energized electrical conductors or equipment.

 

The hope is that this monograph will serve as a valuable resource for safety and public health professionals, safety and health trainers, researchers, and others who can affect the prevention of occupational electrocutions.

  • very important information but it is a bit out of date. Is there a report that would show what has happened from 1995 to 2005 to show how it has changed in our industry.
