I have experienced some shocks from ground loops, where the shock was only perceptible when the current density was small enough. If I placed my whole palm on the conductor, I couldn't feel it, but if I placed just my finger tip on the edge, I could. That was an electrical shock that in my naive opinion does not pose a cardiac risk. I imagine that there is some judgement call to make about what is "electrical shock", and when does it pose a cardiac risk. If all is going well, shocks are rare, and so I could imagine as a rule "if you felt a shock, go to the doctor". But in some [yes, of course, unfortunate, avoidable, and unacceptable] contexts, a rule like that might not be followed. That is why I was wondering about what guidance electrician's unions provide. |
