of causing serious damage, injury or death.  Requirements governing the handling and use of electricity, some general and 
some very specific and detailed, are found in various statutes like the Workmen’s Compensation Acts, Employer’s Liability 
Acts, National Electrical Safety Code (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), etc.
