Electrical Injuries
Electrical incidents are extremely serious matters and require a careful and thorough investigation to determine the cause, as well as what can be done to prevent future occurrences. Injuries of this nature can have a catastrophic impact on employees as well as the company.
When this happens, a company may deal with not only internal personnel issues, but also operation changes, and possible litigation for either liability, medical bills or the death of an employee. It is an extremely sensitive matter and one which should be investigated thoroughly.
