Abstract
While there has been a substantial reduction in major electrical injuries as a result of safe work practice guidelines and engineering advances, considerable improvement is still possible to reduce the incidence and severity of electrical trauma. Here the correlation of how an electrical accident occurs, the exposures at the accident scene and the possible injuries and outcomes provides information to support consideration of safe work practices
