Electrocution Hazards in Agriculture

Electrocution hazards in agriculture involve the risk of electric shock from contact with energized equipment, power lines, or faulty wiring used on farms. High-voltage equipment, wet conditions, and the presence of water increase the danger, as electricity can quickly travel through the body, causing severe injury or death. Workers may accidentally touch live wires or equipment without realizing the risk. Proper grounding, regular equipment maintenance, safe distances from power lines, and training on electrical safety are essential to prevent electrocutions and protect farm workers from these hazards.
