Construction workers are sometimes required to work with or near electricity. Electrical accidents cause serious injuries and deaths, even when a small amount of electrical energy is present.



If a construction worker is injured from an electrical accident because they lacked the appropriate safety equipment or were not given the correct power tools, they may be eligible to recover compensation for their injuries.

High Voltage Power Lines are one of the most fatal threats at any job site. Deadly electrocution can occur from touching high-voltage power lines.


Power and Extension Cords with exposed wires or short circuits cause serious electrical injuries. Responsible parties should check cords frequently to ensure they are safe.

Power Tools must be inspected and properly maintained, as they can also cause electrical accidents. Workers are required to be trained on proper usage. Only specific power cords can be used on power tools.


The power of an electric shock can cause you to fall. If your job requires you to work on scaffolding or cranes near electrical wires, the likelihood of you suffering as a result of an electrical accident is significantly increased, as reported by OSHA. Internal organs can become severely injured as a result of an electrical accident.
