INJURIES CAUSED BY ELECTRICITY

U ovom radu navedeni su načini i mehanizmi djelovanja električne struje na ljudski organizam. Također, prikazani su opći i sistemski utjecaji struje te posljedice po ljudski organizam. Mjere zaštite od direktnog i indirektnog dodira su navedene i definirane, kao i postupak provedbe zaštitnih mjera i njihova obilježja. S obzirom da je prevencija ozljeda na radu jedna od temeljnih zadaća struke, esencijalno je poznavati i razumjeti potencijalne ozljede i težinu njihovih posljedica, kao i trajno educirati i osposobljavati radnike sukladno postojećim pravilima zaštite na radu.In this paper, ways and mechanisms of electricity impact on human organism have been listed. In addition, general and systemic effects of electricity and potential consequences on human organism have been showed. Safety measurements for direct and indirect contact with electricity have, as well as their characteristics have been listed. Taken into account prevention, as one of the main tasks of occupational safety, it is essential to know and understand potential injuries and their consequences, as well as permanent education and training of employers according to presently used safety and protections rules
