Unfortunately, people get hurt by electricity in so many ways- very often a small shock causes someone to fall off a ladder which can result in very serious injuries or death. You can get a very high voltage shock from a spark plug wire, but only a tiny amount of current. Sure can put you on your butt in a hurry. Greatest danger to the heart is when the electricity takes a path across the chest (like from arm to arm) but a high current shock can cook you alive. I've worked with people who took lockout tagout, OSHA Safety, NFPA-70E Arc Flash Training and although they are well trained, complacency sets in and they sadly make bad mistakes. |
