OSHA Module 3- Electrical Safety

Electrical Hazards

Electrical hazards pose significant risks in the construction industry, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities annually. Here are some key statistics highlighting the impact of electrical hazards in this sector:

  • Electrocution Fatalities: Between 2011 and 2015, electrocutions accounted for approximately 8.3% of all construction-related fatalities, totaling 364 deaths.

  • High-Risk Exposure: Over two-thirds (70%) of these electrocution deaths were due to direct or indirect contact with electrical voltages exceeding 220 volts.

  • Comparative Risk: Construction workers are about four times more likely to experience electrocution than workers in all other industries combined.

  • Fatal Four Hazards: Electrocution is one of OSHA's "Fatal Four" hazards in construction, contributing to approximately 8% of construction worker deaths in 2021.

  • Nonfatal Injuries: In 2010, the construction industry had a nonfatal electric shock injury rate of 0.6 cases per 10,000 workers, higher than the private industry rate of 0.2 cases per 10,000 workers.

  • Overhead Power Line Incidents: Contact with overhead power lines remains a leading cause of electrocution on construction sites, with 36% of all electricity-related workplace fatalities from 2011 to 2017 attributed to such incidents.

These statistics underscore the critical need for stringent safety measures, comprehensive training, and adherence to OSHA standards to mitigate electrical hazards in the construction industry.

What is Hazardous Energy?

Energy sources including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other sources in machines and equipment can be hazardous to workers. During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can result in serious injury or death to workers.

What are the harmful effects of hazardous energy?

Workers servicing or maintaining machines or equipment may be seriously injured or killed if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. Injuries resulting from the failure to control hazardous energy during maintenance activities can be serious or fatal! Injuries may include electrocution, burns, crushing, cutting, lacerating, amputating, or fracturing body parts, and others.

  • A steam valve is automatically turned on burning workers who are repairing a downstream connection in the piping.

  • A jammed conveyor system suddenly releases, crushing a worker who is trying to clear the jam.

  • Internal wiring on a piece of factory equipment electrically shorts, shocking worker who is repairing the equipment.

Craft workers, electricians, machine operators, and laborers are among the millions of workers who service equipment routinely and face the greatest risk of injury.

What can be done to control hazardous energy?

Proper lockout/tagout (LOTO) practices and procedures safeguard workers from hazardous energy releases. OSHA's Lockout/Tagout Fact Sheet describes the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment to prevent hazardous energy release. The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29 CFR 1910.147) for general industry outlines measures for controlling different types of hazardous energy. The LOTO standard establishes the employer's responsibility to protect workers from hazardous energy. Employers are also required to train each worker to ensure that they know, understand, and are able to follow the applicable provisions of the hazardous energy control procedures.
