Abstract: Electricity is one of the most useful as well as hazardous in any industry. Under normal conditions, built-in safety features of electrical appliances protect humans from shock. Electricity can cause serious injuries or fatal accidents, if in contact with it. Because these systems use conductors that have electrical potential with respect to ground, a shock hazard exists to people who are in contact with the earth and exposed to the conductors. Let-Go current threshold is the current level where a human loses control of his muscles and the electricity cause the muscle to contract until the current is removed. The vital organs of body such as the heart and brain are the vulnerable parts suffers with electric shock. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation provides some extra time but defibrillation is essential for survival. The Industry concerned will provide adequate and approved personnel protective equipment for various jobs depending upon the hazard.
