Electrocution Accident Injuries

Who is Responsible for an Electrocution Accident?
The safety of northern California construction workers is the responsibility of the employer, contractor (general contractor, sub-contractor) and property owner. Electrocution accidents can be avoided if employers and contractors properly train all employees, even non-electricians, on power line safety and electrocution prevention. Contractors also have a responsibility to adhere to all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, enforce the use of all safety procedures, provide appropriate safety gear and regularly inspect electrical equipment for issues.
