Description:"This issue examines fatal and nonfatal electrical injuries in the construction industry, as well as OSHA citations and penalties resulting from violations of electrical standards. KEY FINDINGS: 1. Roughly half (49%) of all fatal and nearly a quarter (24%) of nonfatal electrical injuries from 2011 to 2020 occurred in construction. 2. Specialty trade contractors (NAICS 238) accounted for 71% of fatal electrical injuries and OSHA electrical citations in construction. 3. Exposures to voltage greater than 220 volts accounted for a majority of both direct (65%) and indirect (87%) fatal injuries. 4. OSHA citations issued for violations of federal electrical standards decreased 74% from 2011 to 2021. 5. Small establishments (fewer than 10 employees) accounted for 72% of citations for violations of electrical standards, but 81% of establishments in 2020. - NIOSHTIC-2
