Electrical Hazards Addressed in This IIPP
Electrical Loto
Electrocution is the third leading cause of construction fatalities (OSHA Focus Four). Contact with overhead power lines accounts for ~50% of electrical fatalities. Work on energized equipment and inadvertent energization during installation are also major risks.
Fall Protection
Electricians routinely work on ladders, aerial lifts, and elevated platforms while pulling wire, installing conduit, and mounting panels. Falls cause significant injuries and fatalities in electrical work.
Cranes Boom Lifts
Boom lifts and scissors lifts are standard tools for commercial electrical installation. Working near energized power lines during aerial lift operations creates critical risk.
