This brief presents information on occupational injuries from
electric shock and arc flash events through a review of literature,
electrical incident data, and similar sources. It includes
pertinent information such as the nature of the incident, adherence
to safety requirements, use of appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), and extent of injury. Chapters address arc flash
and shock hazards, and the need for empirical incident data on the
actual hazards that may be experienced when equipment faults or
adverse electrical events occur. Certain tasks where the risk of an
arc flash or shock hazard may be lower, such as normal operation of
properly installed and maintained equipment, may not require the
use of any special PPE. Some of this risk reduction is based on
anecdotal data, and the brief details why future research
challenges will need more empirical incident data on the actual
hazards and associated injuries that may be experienced when
equipment faults or adverse electrical events occur. Designed for
professionals and researchers in fire protection engineering,
workplace electrical tasks, or workplace safety, this brief offers
a thorough overview of the trends in electrical injuries and the
costs related to those injuries.
