2. Electrical hazards
2.1 Effects of electric current
The effects of electric current on the human body depend on several factors, including :
the nature of the current flowing through the human body (DC, AC) ;
the duration of the passage and the path taken by the current in the human body ;
the individual's physiological characteristics ;
etc.
On this subject, the UTE (Union Technique de l'Électricité et de la Communication) has published a practical guide UTE C 15-110: February 1995 – "Effets du courant sur l'homme et les animaux domestiques. Part 1: General aspects". This guide is a copy of IEC 479-1 (1994).
