Electricity is essential to our everyday life. Many workers don’t understand the dangers of electricity and don’t follow safe work practices when working with or around electricity or electrical equipment. All workers should know and practice basic electrical safety: How electricity works and why it is dangerous; how resistance relates to the flow of electricity and Ohm’s law; What the two concepts of electrical safety are; how employees can’t avoid contacting energized conductors; how grounding, double-insulated tools and GFCI’s protect workers from electric shock; how to respond to a shock event.
