Electrical contractors are
responsible for the health and safety of employees who are exposed to a variety
of hazards. Some of these hazards are obvious, such as electrical shock and
electrocution. Others, such as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), back injuries,
slips and falls, or automobile-related incidents may not be as obvious. The
occurrence of these injuries is increasing as the scope of work performed by the
typical electrical contractor and the age of the work population increases.
While much of their work is still concentrated in construction, they may also
perform building maintenance or installation of data an networking applications.
