Watt’s the Word: The Invisible Injury with John Knoll

EIN Watts the Word 400

August 20, 2021

Despite electrical shock being a serious and potentially dangerous event, it is frequently portrayed in a cringeworthy comedic narrative.  While arc flash safety requirements have changed work procedures, they may have overshadowed the dangers of electrical shock.   

This week Zack and Jason speak with electrical shock awareness advocate John Knoll about his story, and the possible long term health effects (sequelae) from electrical shock.  The lasting effects can be neurological, physical, and psychological.  

This information may be news to members of the construction industry, and if not, it is an excellent reminder that electrical shock is no joke.
