Abstract

Electrical burns are linked to a high rate of morbidity and mortality, and are usually avoidable with basic safety precautions. High voltage electrical injuries are uncommon, yet they have a high death rate. Electrocution refers to any death caused by an electrical shock to the body. Although the introduction of electricity was hailed as a gift to civilization, its use in domestic households has continued to increase fatalities, either because of lack of public awareness, total negligence on the part of the general people and electrical distribution agencies. Electricity's ever-increasing reliance on industry and domestic demands exposes man to injury from electric current and equipment that runs on it.
