Electrical hazards in construction: Evaluating prevention strategies and risk mitigation techniques

Electrical hazards pose significant risks to workers in the construction industry, necessitating effective prevention strategies and risk mitigation techniques. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of electrical safety in construction, drawing on existing literature, survey data, and qualitative insights. Five key themes emerge from the analysis: common electrical hazards, leading causes of accidents, prevention strategies, regulatory frameworks, and challenges in implementation. Insights from previous studies inform the development of robust safety protocols and regulatory compliance measures. Survey data from 300 participants highlight prevalent risk factors, perceptions of hazards, and effectiveness of prevention strategies. Qualitative insights offer nuanced perspectives on safety culture, training programs, and technological innovations. Through collaborative efforts and continuous improvement initiatives, stakeholders can foster safer construction environments, protect worker well-being, and ensure project integrity.
