Introduction:

The majority of us use electricity on a daily basis at work, and this comfort can lead to complacency. Remember that electricity is always a potential source of danger, and it takes lives when we are unaware. As a general rule, assume that all electrical wires and equipment are hot/live until they are tested and proven otherwise. Science has progressed to the point where we now have sufficient knowledge of electricity and its effects on the human body. In today's industrial world, however, being injured at work or losing lives as a result of electricity does not speak well of an organization's safety culture. Electricity is both a good servant and a bad master, with destructive properties such as arc and fire.
