Electrical Safety Unqualified Worker Session Objectives How Does Electricity Work? Electrical Hazards Contact with power lines Contact with damaged electrical equipment Improper wiring Overloading Unsafe work practices Electrical Injuries How Electrical Shock Occurs Electrical energy Two current-conducting wires at different voltages An energized wire and a grounded object Severity of Electrical Shock Amount of electrical current—higher is more dangerous Duration—longer is more dangerous Path through the body—through the heart is most dangerous Effects of Electrical Current on the Body Injuries from Electrical Shock Electrocution Injuries Secondary injuries Arc Flash and Arc Blast Arc Flash—electricity flows through the air Arc Blast—pressure wave from an arc flash Electrical Burns Burns are a common shock-related injury Electricity generates heat in the body Thermal burns from hot surfaces and fires Electrical Burns (cont.) Electrical Hazards—Any Questions? Do you understand: The hazards and injuries of electricity in the workplace? Emergency Response and First Aid for Electrical Shock Do not touch! Shut off electrical current Call for help Administer first aid and CPR Using an AED Helps treat ventricular fibrillation Shocks the heart back to normal rhythm Saves lives if used properly Stay Away from Power Lines Stay at least 10 feet away Keep equipment at least 10 feet away Add 4 inches for every 10 kV over 50 kV Don’t dig near buried lines Report and Don’t Use Damaged Equipment Broken or missing covers Damaged tools Damaged cords Damaged equipment Ensure Electrical Equipment Is Grounded Exposed parts can become energized Always ground electric tools and equipment Path to ground must be continuous Circuit Protective Devices Circuit breakers trip if overloaded Don’t reset unless authorized Contact a qualified person to investigate Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Detect current between the two circuit wires Trip at about 5 mAmp Can get a sh
