The severity of an electrical shock is dependant upon what three things?
The severity of an electrical shock is dependant upon :
- Amperage : How strong the electrical shock that you exposed to
- Duration of the exposure : The longer the duration, the more dangerous it is for your body
- The pathway of electricity to your body : The closer to the important area of your body such as brain or heart, the more dangerous it is
Common accident in construction sites are injury due to
electrical shocks. The severity of the electrocution injury depends on three
things:
1.
The path where the current travels in through
the body
2.
Amount of voltage where it could be high-voltage
or low-voltage
3.
Type of current (AC or DC)
