just wondering, can you die from working, do you catch shocks often and how doomed to failure.
All energy is a risk, compared to other construction jobs, electrician is in the order of the same. In construction 99% of your work will be beside "cold" circuits, and because the actual hook-up is generally a assignment that gets a big bonus, you will probably be excluded from "hot work" until you gain adequate seniority and experience to be comfortable and very past the worst doing it. In repair some work with hot wires is required, but again just rather knowledge and experience will trade name it easy to avoid most shocks. The majority of your work will be beside 110, and it is almost impossible to hurt yourself with it, any injuries are roughly related to falling or hitting something with the "knees jerk" reaction you gain from the shock, not the shock itself. I've seen 100 times more incidences of citizens cutting themselves next to a utility knife than any electrical incidents. And of adjectives the incidents I've heard of contained by 30 years of construction the worst I've heard of within damage be giving someone a day stale,,,, because they were freaked out roughly a touch of 220, not because of any actual injury, just because they be too nervous and might enjoy made another mistake.
Good luck.


It is safe if you win the proper training and follow it. It also depends if you are talking something like residential or commercial electrician. Residential usually only go to 220 volt this is dangerous but mostly not fatal commercial can turn over 13,000 volts this can and does kill electricians, at this glorious voltage electric can "jump" and get the electrician 2 foot away. electric can be safe if proper practices are followed it can be deep if proper practices are not followed.
there be 116 elecrtitians killed according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, 2002 facts. (link below)
Good luck and be safe
