Electricians are very essential to every single construction project, but it's also one of the most dangerous jobs in the construction industry,  According to OSHA, electrocutions cause almost 9% of all construction related deaths, making it one of the group's Fatal Four. Generally, an electrician in the United States falls under 1 of 3 categories: apprentice, journeyman, and master, but this data compiles all of those levels into one category.  It's also important to note that utility line installers are not included in this category.
