11.  New hazards  Increased accidents  New unproven concepts, design & materials  Health impacts (U.S Department of Labor, 2008 )

12.  Embraces the benefits  Regulation and litigation  Structured health and safety organizations  Insurance

13.  Society accepts the benefits but not all the risks  Society places demands on engineers to reduce risks  Engineers require training in workplace safety, due diligence and product liability in addition to their electrical training to meet these demands

14.  Safety, accident  Danger, hazard and risk  Hazard control  Risk reduction Source Transmission medium Receiver Incident Anatomy of a Hazard
