Epidemiology of Electrocution Fatalities
This is interesting, but suspect. It appears that the voltage values were probably determined from the reported supply voltage, not the actual voltage the person was subjected to. How else would there be so many reported 220-240V shocks reported? Very few systems operate with that voltage to ground, and very few people are unlucky enough to touch both phases at once (though it does happen occasionally). The lack of a category for 208V shocks also points to this conclusion.

Epidemiology of Electrocution Fatalities
I am not sure, I think it is all but if so the numbers look low.
Maybe the other 25% of electrocutions weren't fatal.Thought the numbers would be percentages, but the total is only 75, so that's pretty much ruled out.
... then they would not be electrocutions.Maybe the other 25% of electrocutions weren't fatal.![]()

I simply says that NFPA 70 E is OSHA required. Watch this.. it's a good one! It makes NFPA 70 E THE LAW!![]()
