Problem-
The modern civilizations of today’s world has become totally dependent on using electricity that involves with most dangerous electrical hazard in which people can easily contact and get shock or other type of injury that can lead to significant problem to their body. Electricity presents in all workplaces including households. Electrical hazards kill a number of people in Australia every year. Electricity can cause fire and damage to the property and kill people with the advent of the electric bulb, motor and other electrical devices or equipment (Ruschena, LJ 2012).
The electrical hazards may exist in the medical field within the radiology department including the equipment relates to x-ray and angiography studies. The patient lying on the x-ray table to complete the scan may incorporate into the path of current including the grounding system utilized by the body of the equipment touching the patient. Electrical hazards may be associated with certain type of devices including electrical power equipment or electronic monitoring device. These type of electrical hazards can be introduced due to inadequate grounding system (Barry et al. 1995).
