HSE and other organisations have produced guidance on electrical safety that is suitable for a wide range of industries and technical competencies. Most of the information produced by the HSE is available for immediate download.

General electrical information

The Simple Precautions[18] and Frequently asked questions[19] web pages will help you to select the best guidance on working with electricity.

Many other organisations provide information about electrical matters[20].

Information on accident statistics[21] is also available from a number of sources.
