Electrical contact injuries result in death and irreparable damage in electrical system workers. The pattern of injury is different from other burns, and younger employees are the most at risk. Two factors cause most injuries: unsafe work practice or defective equipment. Primary prevention lies beyond the scope of the medical practitioner, but secondary and tertiary prevention provide some opportunity to modify the devastation of these injuries. Secondary prevention involves education of the work force to act promptly in aiding an injured fellow worker; tertiary prevention usually involves rehabilitation of an amputee.
电击伤可导致电工死亡和电力系统设备不可修复的损坏。其损伤模式不同于其他烧伤，且年轻员工风险最高。造成大多数损伤的原因有两个：不安全的工作实践或设备缺陷。初级预防超出了医务人员的职责范围，但二级和三级预防为减轻这些损伤的破坏性提供了一些机会。二级预防包括对劳动力进行教育，以便在援助受伤的同事时迅速采取行动；三级预防通常涉及对截肢者的康复。
