Electrical Fatalities & Near Miss Statistics — Toolbox Talk
Free download · A5 landscape (210 × 148mm)
Statistics make safety real. This A5 toolbox talk card presents key electrical safety statistics localised for Australian, UK, and US contexts: annual electrocution fatalities, arc flash injury rates, and the most common causes (contact with live parts, inadequate isolation, PPE failure). Three anonymised real-world case study summaries illustrate what happens when procedures fail. The reverse provides discussion prompts ('What would you do differently?'), a near-miss reporting reminder, and an attendance record for compliance documentation.
