Abstract
The preceding examples, though very much abbreviated, have explained some of the hazards that have been discovered in an actual clinical setting. The detection and elimination of electrical shock hazards is a continuing process which requires the cooperation and understanding of nurses, physicians, engineers, and maintenance personnel. These people working together can provide a significant reduction in the existing hazards in hospitals. The following list is presented to provide a quick source of reference as to what symptoms may be indicative of shock hazards and what practices should be avoided: A. Suspect shock hazards if: 1. A staff member or patient complains of receiving an electrical shock. 2. Two-wire cords or plugs are used on equipment. 3. Three-wire adapters are used.
