About the video
This lesson explains the critical difference between electrical shock and electrocution. While both involve the flow of electrical current through the body, electrocution specifically means death caused by electricity, often from a high current passing through vital organs like the heart. The video highlights the importance of proper personal protective equipment (PPE), understanding the risks of live circuits, and following safety protocols to prevent accidents. By distinguishing between these terms and emphasizing safety measures, this lesson aims to protect those working with electricity from severe injury or death.
