There are four main types of electrical injuries:

 Flash: caused by an arc flash, are typically associated with superficial burns, as no electrical current
travels past the skin.

 Flame: Flame injuries occur when an arc flash ignites an individual’s clothing, and electrical current
may or may not pass the skin in these cases.

 Lightning: involving extremely short but very high voltage electrical energy, are associated with an
electrical current flowing through the individual’s entire body. 

 True electrical injuries: True electrical injuries involve an individual becoming part of an electrical
circuit. In these cases, an entrance and exit site is usually found.[1]

Cuestionario:

Electrical safety symbols are safety symbols to warn people that serious injuries can occur from burn, electric shocks,
and hazards. These tragedies can be prevented injuries. Electrical safety signs and electrical safety symbols are
imperative in warning people that electrical hazards are probable while working and also remind them to take the
necessary steps to stay safe.

The colors are:

[2]
The symbols are:

The common symbol for electricity is:

Is a lightning bolt.

  Voltage or Shock Hazard Symbol: This symbol can be identified by using a bolt or a
bolt through a hand.

Static Hazards: If you see a lightning bolt on the bottom of a shoe, there is a danger
of an explosion occurring from static electricity.

Buried Cable Symbol: A bolt with an arrow pointed downward is used to identify
buried cable signs.

Danger/Safety (Universal): A triangle with an enclosed exclamation point is the

universal symbol for danger and sometimes safety as well.
Restricted Areas: Prohibition signs are used in areas to prevent people from walking into a
danger zone.

Electrical Devices: Appliances, switches, wire boxes and other electrical devices are
often marked with an electrical safety sign.
