Electrical Hazard Recognition

Many workers are unaware of the potential electrical hazards present in their work environment, which makes them more vulnerable to the danger of electrocution. OSHA provides a variety of references that help recognize hazards associated with electrical work. OSHA makes all of these available through a single resources page titled Electrical Hazard Recognition.

The available resources include:

  • Working Safely with Electricity, OSHA Fact Sheet

  • Portable Generator Safety, OSHA Quick Card

  • Using Portable Generators Safely, OSHA Fact Sheet

  • Electrical Safety Hazards of Overloading Cable Trays, OSHA Fact Sheet

  • Construction Pocket Guide

  • Electrical safety web page that provides links to information about electrical safety and electrocutions.

  • OSHA Assistance for the Maritime Industry

  • Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Mills web page provides links to safety and health information.

  • Electrical Safety: Safety and Health for Electrical Trades Student Manual

  • Fire Fighters Exposed to Electrical Hazards During Wildland Fire Operations

  • Electrocutions Fatality Investigation Reports

  • Construction Industry Safety and Health Outreach Program
