Mike Starner's Message to D10
The nature of electrical work means that workers are exposed to electrical hazards, the deadliest being electrical contact incidents that can lead to fibrillation of the heart. This physiological response to an electrical shock reaching the heart can be deadly. In fact, ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common cause of death following an electrical incident according to research published in the National Library of Medicine[1]. This is a concern for electrical contractors who have employees working in high-risk electrical settings.
