Electrocutions
63% of total fatalities in the construction
industry are due to electrocution.
The electrocutions arise from a
multitude ofdifferent hazards.
Most commonly, workers come in
contact with overhead electrical lines,
either directly or through a device such
as an aluminum ladder. Workers have
been killed drilling holes in concrete, not
realizing that they are in danger of corn~
ing into contact with live wires.
Just last week OSHA proposed a
$70,000 fine on a Florida construction
firm for an electrocution involving overhead
lines.
