The four main types of electrical injuries are:
-
Electrical Shock: This occurs when an electrical current passes through the body, potentially affecting the heart and other organs.
-
Burns: Electrical burns can result from contact with electrical sources, leading to severe tissue damage both at the entry and exit points of the current.
-
Arc Burns: These occur when high-voltage electricity jumps from one conductor to another, causing burns without direct contact.
-
Electrocution: This refers to fatal electrical injuries, typically resulting from high-voltage exposure that leads to death.
