Statistics on Electrical Injury and Death

[megloff11x]

I see bits and pieces everywhere, including the email updates, but is there a summarized breakdown of injuries and deaths due to electrical incidents; numbers and percentages?

Arc Flash
Electrocution
Explosions
Etc.

I have some budding future workers in this area to "scare straight."

ECM online magazine has some statistics occassionaly.
Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.
