Which of the following is NOT one of the four main types of electrical injuries?

  1. Electrocution

  2. Electric shock

  3. Blast injuries

  4. Burns

The correct answer is: Blast injuries

The four main types of electrical injuries include electrocution, electric shock, burns, and blast injuries. Electrocution refers specifically to death caused by electrical shock, while electric shock describes the physiological response when electricity passes through the body. Burns can result from direct contact with electrical sources, where high voltage causes thermal damage to the skin or tissues. Blast injuries, while associated with the effects of electricity, do not directly represent a type of electrical injury like the other three. Instead, they may occur as secondary effects of an electrical explosion or arc flash but are not classified as a primary electrical injury type. Understanding these classifications helps in recognizing the specific hazards present in electrical environments and the proper safety measures needed to prevent these injuries.
