Electricians are very well trained in this field. They are taught on the saftey and hazards of the job. There are also soooo many things that they do take to make sure that they are safe on the job. As with any job there are risks but as with any job, being well trained to avoid them is beneficial.
He will be fine, so no need to worry. My dad worked as an electrician for many years. He had to go to a lot of schooling and eventually earned his masters electrician license.(meaning he had to go to tons of classes to earn this). Believe me, that is no easy thing to get either!

depends what hes trained to do and the typical work environment if all he does is help little old ladies install light switches he might get a zap that might at most kill a flea if he's up changing transformers near power stations then he could be in a slight bit of danger if hes not careful which I'm sure he is and he's trained well so he'll be fine but remember accidents do happen even in non dangerous jobs I know a girl who worked at an icecream shop she was working the afternoon shift in the summer a guy came in walked right past the line and shot the girl for giving him the wrong flavor milkshake afew minutes before

Honey if he took a course to be an electrician, I'm sure he learned all the safety tips. He would have to pass a test in safety.There are hazards in every occupation. I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just tell him you love him when he leaves for his job and say a little prayer that the Lord will protect him while at work and on his way back to you. God Bless.

Ive been an electric an for about 15 years:
all job titles are dangerous if your not properly trained,it takes less than 1 amp of electricity to cross the right part of your body and this could be fatal,but just like any job title,this takes skill,you can never know enough about it, but three things he should know..
1.electricity is invisible.
2.it bites harder than a 30' alligator
3.it flows in more ways than water itself.
you tell him to be safe,he has a caring gf...

My cousin's son has trained to become an electrician. He said that once you know all the basics, it truly isn't that dangerous.
There are many, many safety checks that are done on each job. Master Electricians are always supervising and double checking all work performed.

Incredibly safe. They actually know what they are doing as opposed to those who don't
here's a fine example: We had the electricity shut off today.. (don't know why).. electric company told us that it would be put on "within" two hours. My fiance took this time as an opportune moment to replace all switches in the entire house (no.. he didn't turn off any circuit breakers).
Lesson: electricians know their ****.. they are smarter than those who would take a chance.

As long as he is well qualified in the position he holds and follows all the safety regulations he should be fine. Any job poses threats of different magnitudes. If the pay is great enough to outweigh risks, then it's worth it! Good luck, and it wouldn't hurt to say an extra little prayer for him as he leaves for work each day!

If he was taught properly very safe there are so many special tools available now that is what makes it safe as long as he does not try to rush his job the most danger comes from climbing ladders while working than the electricity itself.

If you follow the rules, it's a great profession and about as safe as any. No, I've never heard of an electrician getting electrocuted.

Depends. If he does residential wiring, it's about as safe as staying in bed. If he does power pole work, there are definitely more hazards: one is high off the ground, working with potentially lethal voltages. But safety procedures are emphasized for this, and as long as one is careful, applies common sense, and follows the rules, the risk is low.
