French term or phrase: electrisation

In a Plan de Prévention

Utilisation des reseaux de distribution ... éléctricité... risque d'éléctrisation

In the context, this must surely be electrocution, but I can find no evidence. Is it just a mistake?

electrocution

Explanation:
It sounds like a mistake. "Électrisation" (electrification) is a pretty neutral event/thing so I'd ask myself: "Why "**risque** d'éléctrisation"?

risk of electric shock vs electrocution hazard

Explanation:
risk of electric shock injury

Il faut distinguer l’électrocution de l’électrisation. L’électrocution désigne l’accident qui provoque la mort de la victime ; le courant électrique passe par le cœur et perturbe ses contractions. Il ne peut alors plus assurer ses fonctions de pompe, l’arrêt cardiaque est imminent.

L’électrisation désigne l’accident grave aux conséquences non mortelles. Dans ce cas, le courant passe à travers le corps et provoque des lésions plus ou moins importantes sur son passage. Les brûlures provoquées par l’électricité entraînent des handicaps à long terme ainsi que des séquelles esthétiques. Ce type de séquelles est d’autant plus grave que l’électrisation s’est produite en présence d’eau ou d’humidité.
