Construction workers can be directly or indirectly exposed to electrical shock, arc flash and other electrical hazards, which is why electrical safety practices are vital. Workers who come in contact with electricity account for roughly 18 per cent of the deaths on construction sites, which is why safety is so important. This is why safety practices are governed by OSHA and CSA and state and provincial electrical occupational health and safety compliance departments that have jurisdiction over electrical safety.

In North America, various federal (OSHA, CSA), and state and provincial laws require that employers maintain safe workplace conditions and practices. This means that under the Occupational Electrical Health and Safety Act, employers, supervisors, and workers individually have legal responsibilities to ensure that all work practices are being conducted in a professional and electrically safe manner.
