1 Hour Electrocution Prevention

Electrocution Prevention
Why do you need 1 Hour Electrocution Prevention? Electrocution is injury or death by electric shock caused by exposure to lethal amounts of electricity. Electrocutions caused 9% of 1,243 worker deaths, but accounted for less than 1% of reported recordable nonfatal injuries in 2005. The electrocution prevention course will teach you to recognize dangerous situations and what to do in order to avoid or minimize hazardous situations in order to work more safely
