This document outlines critical electrical hazards that employers must recognize and mitigate to ensure worker safety. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining safe distances from electric power circuits, proper handling of extension cords, and addressing common hazards such as GFCI absence, ungrounded systems, and damage to electrical components. It also covers essential safety measures, such as protecting conductors from abrasion and avoiding pinch points for flexible cords. Employers are urged to keep workplaces safe and ensure all electrical systems are well-maintained.
