PAKISTANT           

 Electricution, or death caused by electric shock, is a significant public safety         

issue in Pakistan. The main causes of electrocution in the country include:


1.Poor Electricall infrastructure

  Aging Power Lines:

Many power lines and electrical grids are old and poorly maintained, leading to exposed wires and faulty connections.

 Unauthorized Connections:

Illegal tapping into power lines, commonly known as "kunda" connections, increases the risk of electrocution due to unprotected and amateurish setups.

2 .Lack of Safety Standards

 Inadequate Safety Regulations:

Insufficient enforcement of electrical safety standards in construction and infrastructure projects. 

 Substandard Equipment:

Use of low-quality electrical components and appliances that do not meet safety standards

 

 

3.Urban Flooding:

 Water and Electricity:

Flooding in urban areas can cause water to come into contact with electrical systems, increasing the risk of electrocution.

 Exposed Wires:

Floodwaters can expose or damage electrical wiring, creating dangerous conditions.

 

4.Improper Wiring and Maintenance:

 Faulty Wiring:

Incorrect installation and poor maintenance of electrical wiring in homes and buildings.

 Lack of Grounding:

Many electrical systems lack proper grounding, which is essential for preventing electric shocks

5.Occupational Hazards:

 Construction Workers:

Electricians, construction workers, and other laborers often face high risks due to unsafe working conditions and lack of protective gear.  Industrial Accidents:

Workers in factories and industrial sites are at risk due to faulty machinery and inadequate safety protocols.

 

 

 

 

 

6.Public Awareness and Education:

 Lack of Awareness:

Many people are unaware of the dangers of electricity and the importance of safety precautions.

 Educational Gaps:

 Insufficient public education campaigns on electrical safety and emergency response.
