Injury Prevention for Electricians

Electricians are actuely aware of electrical hazards but they may underestimate other risks to their health and wellbeing.

Through consultation and worksite visits at multiple employers, we discovered that electricians are acutely aware of electrical hazards but may underestimate other risks.
