  • Abstract
    This paper reviews some of the more common electrical safety myths and misconceptions field electrical workers often have. Many of these misconceptions continue in spite of training and education. Some are handed down from worker to worker, similar to tribal knowledge. The real danger from these misconceptions is that they impede the truth and cause electrical workers to misjudge hazards and risks.
