Found this gem at work today.

Now as for your "current kills bullshit", whoa..if you're truly a professional in the field then you should know better.

Fine. Show me an electrical safety procedure that references current other than in a theoretical sense. They are all written in voltage. The reason is that there is no fucking way to know the exact current path. The best you can do is make a theoretical human touching a wire, say 300 Ω. If all the current goes through that theoretical person's heart, then 0.1 A is equal to 30 V (the voltage rating that you need to consider dangerous, for example, in the US Navy). The worst case is touching it in parallel. Hence, you use voltage.

You're correct that high voltage does present a higher danger here, because higher voltage means a higher electrical pressure behind the current, making it more likely to cross larger air gaps.

NO!! God damn piss fuck shit!!~~!!~

I don't know how many dipshit electricians I've had to beat this out of. Current and voltage are fucking related. The ONLY place you can talk about current without mentioning voltage is in a superconductor. If you aren't talking about a superconductor, then you don't get current without voltage. And if you are looking at the worst case for putting your body in parallel, then voltage is proportional to current.

Seriously, where are you going to use current for personal electrical safety? Name one place or one circuit. Go ahead, just one. You won't be able to because your body changes the fucking circuit! But you sure as fuck can use voltage when you are in parallel.

NEC wire sizing as well as motor control and motor starter circuits are usually based on current (full-load current, current carrying capacity of conductors). So saying "all of your safety requirements and procedures" is quite a large generalization.

No shit. We're talking personal safety, not whether you will melt a wire. For fuck's sake.
