Job Exposure Matrix for Electric Shock Risks with Their Uncertainties [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2015 We present an update to an electric shock job exposure matrix (JEM) that assigned ordinal electric shocks exposure for 501 occupational titles based on electric shocks and electrocutions from two available data sources and expert judgment. Using formal expert elicitation and starting with data on electric injury, we arrive at a consensus-based JEM.
