Influencing factors on current strength during current passage through the body - Voltage difference - Resistance of the surface, including footwear (linoleum and a rubber mat have a high resistance, an earthen, clinker covered floor or a concrete floor are highly conductive and therefore have a lower resistance) In the event of a current passing through, the affected person may be shocked and sustain injury - Being hit by flying material in the event of a short circuit - Being thrown away by the pressure wave in the event of a short circuit Causes of accidents when working with electricity - Defective and defective machines, equipment and pipes - Poor or missing grounding connections - Incorrect installation or installation - Direct or indirect contact with live parts - Injudicious use of electrical installations and/or materials - Inattention, carelessness and ignorance Secondary injury when working with electricity -
