Electrical Safety Signs: NHS Guidance
In the UK, electrocution accounts for 0.54 deaths in every 100,000 people per year. Generated electricity causes more than 90% of these deaths. Most low-voltage electrocutions occur in the home or workplace while a majority of high-voltage deaths happen at work.[1] Similarly, 1322 electricity-related workplace deaths befell the USA between 2011 and 2022.
