This study examines the rate of deaths from electrocutions in construction, focusing on electrical and non-electrical workers. The analysis of data from 2003-2005 highlights the most common causes of fatal contact with electricity, including lighting fixtures, electrical equipment and wiring, overhead power lines, and energized objects. The findings also reveal specific risks for different construction occupations, such as electrical workers, construction laborers, roofers, and supervisors/managers.
