A wide variety of jobs require workers to handle devices that have active electricity running through them. The main types of electrical accidents that occur on a construction site are:

Power lines should be insulated or turned off by supervisors before any workers become involved. This is the responsibility of the company employing the worker.
Many of employees who experience fatal electrical injuries are not trained electrical specialists, including construction laborers, roofers, service workers, and other occupations. It is important to realize that electrical safety training is needed by electrical specialists and other construction trades that may be exposed.
When a worker is electrocuted, the whole body can be affected. Workers can:
Injuries can range from minor to permanently debilitating to death, depending on the location of the shock and the voltage of the current. Major injuries often leave construction workers unable to ever work again, and unable to make a living for their families.

Safe work practices such as using caution near energized lines, de-energizing equipment before inspection and repair, properly maintaining tools and equipment, and using appropriate PPE are all important. Contract workers should fully understand the extent of the electrocution hazard and how to prevent it.
