These reports were reviewed to discover common trends in workplace electrical fatalities in all industries. The data show that 64% of all workplace electrical fatalities occurred in occupations outside the electrical field, with many of the fatalities involving laborers (except construction), construction laborers, and tree-trimming occupations.
