Cause and Effects of Electric Shock to a Human Body
Chapter I
Introduction
Background of the Study Did you know that all of us are exposed to the risk of electric shock? We are all surrounded by electrical appliances and machinery which exposed us to risk. This study allows us to know the basic information, the causes and effects, and the preventive measure because according to the National Safety Council there are about 600 to 1000 people die every year from electrocution. It continues to rank as the fourth highest cause of industrial facilities, among traffic accidents, violence or homicide, and construction accidents. Electrocution or electric shock is one of the serious problems we always encounter. Death can occur from any shock that carry enough current to stop the heart. The greater the use of electricity, however, the greater the opportunity for electric accidents and incidents.
Statement of the Problem This study informs us the causes and effect of electric shock and the basic preventive measure in handling electricity. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions: 1. What is electric shock? 2. What are the different causes of electric shock? 3. What are the effects of electric shock to a human body? 4. What are the ways to prevent electric shock?
Importance of the Study This research identifies the causes and effect of electric shock to a human body and is directed towards benefiting the following:
Electrical Engineering students: this study helps them to become aware of the causes and effects of electric shock since they will be handling electricity in their study.
Electronics and Electrical Engineer: this study gives them information of the possible causes and effects of electric shock that will be needed in their work.
Every Member of the Family: this study helps them to be aware of the possible causes and effects of electric shock since we are all exposed to the risk of electric shock.
Scope and Limitation This study aimed to identify or determine the different
