Electricity

Information on electricity in the workplace

Electricity is a frequent cause of workplace deaths and does not have to be high voltage to cause electrocution. Electrical hazards exist in almost every workplace and the smallest error can be fatal. Each year on average two to three workers are electrocuted in Western Australia. Although there are many different causes of electrocution, they have one thing in common – they could be prevented.
