What are the potential hazards associated with working on or near energized electrical components on construction equipment, and how can these hazards be mitigated?

Working on or near energized electrical components on construction equipment presents several significant hazards. The primary hazard is electrocution, which occurs when a person comes into contact with an energized conductor and becomes part of an electrical circuit. Electrocution can cause burns, muscle contractions, cardiac arrest, and death. Another hazard is electrical shock, which can occur even if the voltage is not high enough to cause electrocution. Electrical shock can cause pain, muscle spasms, and temporary paralysis. Arc flash is another serious hazard. An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy through the air when a high-voltage gap exists and there is a breakdown between conductors. Arc flashes produce ....
