Electric shocks cause thousands of serious injuries each year in the UK alone - even those who are lucky enough to escape electrocution (death by electric shock) can still end up suffering from burns, persistent pain, heart/respiratory problems, and numerous other consequences.
For this reason, it's extremely important that everyone does their bit to minimise the risk posed by electrical hazards. If you are responsible for managing premises that contain such hazards, it is your duty to inform those around you of the danger. This is best achieved through the use of electric shock notices: signs and labels that warn of potentially lethal electrical installations.
Here are some examples of how electric shock notices can be deployed to protect people's safety:
- Generic electrical warning signs should be placed near any electrical hazards
- If the specific voltage is known, it's a good idea to identify this with an appropriate label or sign
- An electric shock treatment guide may help to save a life if an incident does arise
- Electric shocks can often be prevented using the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) - put up PPE signs to remind people of this
