Electrical Safety

Working with electricity can be extremely dangerous. Electrical engineers, electricians, and other trades people work with electricity daily, this includes working with overhead power lines, heavy-duty cable harnesses, transformers and high voltage circuits. Almost everyone uses electricity indirectly in their day to day lives and can unexpectedly become exposed to electricity directly.
