There are several different standards for defining electrical shock hazards, depending on the environment in which the standard is applied.  For example, current leakage standards in medical equipment are different than for home appliances and those standards are different than on-the-job industrial standards.  The table used in the HRLM is from OSHA Publication 3075, "Controlling Electrical Hazards" (www.osha.gov/Publications/3075.html).

The Wikipedia article on electric shock (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_shock) states, "A low-voltage (110 to 220 V), 50 or 60-Hz ac current travelling through the chest for a fraction of a second may induce ventricular fibrillation at currents as low as 60 mA. With dc, 300 to 500 mA is required. If the current has a direct pathway to the heart (e.g., via a cardiac catheter or other kind of electrode), a much lower current of less than 1 mA, (ac or dc) can cause fibrillation. Fibrillations are usually lethal because all the heart muscle cells move independently. Above 200 mA, muscle contractions are so strong that the heart muscles cannot move at all."

The discussion of how to calculate average power has been clarified with new text as shown in the companion errata document for the 1^st printing of the text.
