LEM Products Is Proud to Take Part in National Electrical Safety Month

 

Doylestown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/03/2017 -- In honor of May being National Electrical Safety month, LEM Products, Inc., a Montgomeryville, PA-based supplier of reflective labels and other safety labels for various industries, wants everyone to be aware of the importance of following electrical safety precautions.

The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) uses information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, (BLS) the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and the Survey of Occupational Injuries (SOII) to gather data specifically targeting fatal and nonfatal occupational injuries involving electricity. Their findings show the following:

In 2015, there were 134 fatalities involving electricity that occurred in a workplace environment. (Accidents involving someone working on their own home on the weekends, for example, are not factored into those 134 deaths.) 2015 resumed the trend of reduced electrical deaths each year following 2014's increase over 2013.

Of all the fatal electrical accidents in 2015, 97% of them occurred in the private sector. The other 3% happened in the government sector. In 2015, 60% of all fatal electrical injuries occurred specifically within the construction industry. The 81 deaths in the construction industry are more than four times the number of deaths in the second-highest source, professional and business services.

Similar to the steady drop in fatal electrical injuries, there is also a significant decline in the number of annual nonfatal electrical injuries. However, in 2015 there was a massive increase in 2,480 injuries compared to 2014's 1,850 injuries.

One of the ways workplaces can help reduce electrical accidents in work zones is to shop with LEM Products, Inc. LEM Products can provide any workplace with electrical safety signs, as well as wire and voltage markers. All of their safety labels are designed to satisfy ANSI standards for safety labeling.
