Abstract: The information collection requirements specified in the Electrical Standards for Construction and General Industry are necessary for the prevention of inadvertent electrocution of workers. These provisions require labels, markings, written programs, notifications, and tags to alert workers of the presence and the different types of electrical hazards found in the workplace, thereby, preventing serious injuries and deaths from electrocutions.
