The danger of injury through electrical shock is possible whenever electrical power is present. When a person's body completes a circuit and thus connects a power source with the ground, an electrical burn or injury is imminent.
Electrical safety is important in every work environment.
The following sections cover circuit breaker loads, electrical grounding, electrical safety guidelines, and electrical emergency response. Electromotive force expressed in volts. A device that automatically interrupts the flow of an electrical current. An insulated panel on which electrical wires are mounted. The rate of flow of an electrical charge, generally expressed in amps.
