Assessment of Incidents and Immediate Consequences of Electric Shocks among Nigerians
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: This study investigates the frequency of electric shocks among Nigerians and the resulting effects on those affected. A survey tool and verbal questionnaire were utilised to arrive at reliable testimonials from both victims and witnesses of comparable incidents. This study reveals that Nigerians encounter electric shock on a daily basis, yet a significant fraction of these incidents remains unreported. Furthermore, a significant portion of the Nigerian population has limited understanding of electricity and shows indifference towards the potential consequences of electric shocks. The survey findings unearthed multiple instances of electric shock over a thirteen-week period, previously not sufficiently documented. This study undertook meticulous analysis and documentation of multiple instances of electric shock, providing a full report on the resulting consequences and their level of severity. Many of the individuals who are affected intentionally choose not to wear protective equipment, fully aware that their lack of expertise and contempt for safety measures may result in an electric shock. Nevertheless, they demonstrate a reluctance to seek assistance from proficient experts or adopt proactive efforts to avert such occurrences. This study additionally investigates sustainable preventative approaches and proposes strategies for educating the public on suitable safety precautions. This study aims to address a significant and comprehensive educational gap concerning the prevention of electric shock and its associated consequences. This topic, which is a longstanding worry in Nigeria, has not received sufficient attention thus far.
