According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), working on or around electricity leads to some 4700 non-fatal injuries each year in the United States alone. Electrical accidents or unintended contact with energized systems is also blamed for an average of one death per day, every day, in the workplace. Electrical workplace hazards, in fact, occupy three of the top 10 spots in OSHA's list of top workplace violations in 2010. Lockout/tagout violations led the pack with more than 3000 violations cited, but electrical wiring methods and general electrical code violations were cited nearly as often. In an effort to address urgent safety and health problems faced by Americans in the workplace, OSHA recently implemented a new program in June 2010 that increases civil penalty amounts for violators (EC&M June 2011). TEGG Services identifies these dangerous situations/code violations for you and takes the liability away so you can take steps to fix them BEFORE OSHA "helps" you spend more money than the repair would have cost.
