1.) Oil and gas environment

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Explanation:

1.) Oil and gas environment.

Electricity and electric discharge are recognized as serious workplace hazard in oil and gas companies, exposing employees to burns, fires, and explosions.

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Electricity or electric discharge has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires, and explosions. Workers could die from electrocutions at work. This is

accounting for on-the-job fatalities and what makes these more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.
