— FOR SAFETY OF LIFE (BOTH FOR
SELF AS WELL AS OTHERS IN THE
VICINITY).

— FOR SAFETY OF EQUIPMENT.

!| !| 
— ELECTRIC SHOCK RESULTING IN
SEVERE INJURY AND ALSO DEATH.

— FIRE RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE

AND EQUIPMENT.
|!| 
— ELECTRIC SHOCK IS DEFINED AS THE SUDDEN
INVOLUNTARY CONTRACTION OF MUSCLES
WITH A FEELING OF PAIN CAUSED BY THE
PASSAGE OF CURRENT THROUGH THE BODY.

— IF SEVERE ENOUGH THE SHOCK CAN BE

FATAL.

— THE SEVERITY OF THE ELECTRIC SHOCK

DEPENDS ON:-
± THE VOLTAGE.
± BODY RESISTANCE.
± TYPE OF CLOTHING USED.

— THERE ARE THREE MAIN EFFECTS OF
ELECTRIC CURRENT.

± CHEMICAL.
± PHYSIOLOGICAL.
± HEATING.
 |!||
— ´ .3% OF THE HUMAN BODY COMPRISES OF
WATER WHICH DECOMPOSES EASILY ON
PASSAGE OF CURRENT.

— THE CELLS DIE BECAUSE OF ELECTROLYSIS OF

CELLULAR FLUID.

— THE DEATH OF CELLS MAY LEAD TO PHYSICAL

HANDICAP ALSO.
 !!||
— MANIFESTS ITSELF BECAUSE THE HUMAN
NERVOUS SYSTEM USES ELECTRIC
IMPULSES OF THE ORDER OF MILLIVOLTS
FOR SENDING NERVE IMPULSES.

— EXTERNAL IMPULSES OF ANY KIND

DISRUPTS NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM.

— HEART FOR EG; USES .´HZ SIGNAL FOR

MAKING THE HEART PUMP BLOOD IN THE
BODY. A 50 HZ SUPPLY MAY CAUSE
CARDIAC ARREST.
 | 

— THE PASSAGE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT RESULTS

IN THE GENERATION OF HEAT. SIGNIFICANT
HEATING MAY CAUSE BURNS.
 |!| !
— ELECTRICITY IS INHERENTLY
DANGEROUS. CURRENTS AS LOW AS 30
mA MAY BE DANGEROUS AND 00mA MAY
PROVE TO BE FATAL.

— BODY RESISTANCE VARIES FROM 0.5M

OHMS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS TO
´00 OHMS WHEN SKIN IS WET.

— 50 HZ AC IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS

THAN DC BECAUSE IT CAUSES HEART
FIBRILLATION.

— THE HIGHER THE RESISTANCE
SMALLER THE CURRENT
 THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE


BODY.
 
   
 

— EXTERNAL STATE OF THE

SKIN HAS A CONSIDERABLE


EFFECT ON THE RESISTANCE.

 
 
— APPROXIMATE RESISTANCE
OF HUMAN BODY IS
CONSIDERED MOHM.
 ! |!||!
— HIGHER THE VOLTAGE AND POWER OF THE
SOURCE GREATER IS THE HAZARD AND
GREATER CARE IS TO BE TAKEN.

— A HIGH VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE A LARGE

CURRENT TO FLOW THROUGH THE BODY AND
IS THUS DANGEROUS.

— IN CASE OF HIGHER VOLTAGES MERE

PROXIMITY MAY LEAD TO SHOCKS AND
CONTACT IS NOT ESSENTIAL.
 ! |
— TYPE OF CLOTHES WORN AFFECTS THE BODY
RESISTANCE AND HENCE THE CURRENT
FLOWING THROUGH THE BODY.

— IT IS SAFER TO WEAR COTTON CLOTHES THAN

THE FANCY POLYSTER CLOTHES WHILE
WORKING.

— POLYSTER CLOTHES ALSO ARE DANGEROUS IN

CASE OF FIRE.

— DOs
± SWITCH OFF SUPPLY AND REMOVE
FUSES BEFORE COMMENCING
WORK.
± DISPLAY TALLIES TO PREVENT
OTHERS FROM SWITCHING ON THE
EQUIPMENT.
± PRIOR TO HANDLING BARE
CONDUCTORS DISCHARGE
RESIDUAL VOLTAGES.
± FOLLOW CORRECT ENGG
PRACTICES USING INSULATED
TOOLS.
± TRAIN PERSONNEL ON
CONSEQUENCES OF ELECTRIC
SHOCKS AND FIRST AID.
— þ


± DO NOT SWITCH ON BREAKERS WHILE

WORKING ON LIVE PARTS.
± DO NOT KEEP LOOSE MATERIAL IN YOUR
OVERALL POCKETS.
± NEVER WORK ALONE.
± DO NOT BE CASUAL IN YOUR WORK.
± DO NOT FIT OVERRATED FUSES IN THE
FUSE BOX.
  

— REMEMBER ELECTRICITY IS A VERY GOOD

SLAVE BUT A VERY BAD MASTER.

— THEREFORE BEWARE OF CONSEQUENCES

AND NEVER EVER BREAK A RULE AND
BECOME A VICTIM.
 || 

— USE OF NON STANDARD/NON -

INSULATED TOOLS/EQUIPMENT.
— NOT USING RIGHT TOOL FOR RIGHT JOB.
— LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF EQUIPMENT.
— WORKING ON LIVE/HT EQUIPMENT.
— NOT CONSULTING RELEVANT
DOCUMENTATION/ CKT DIAGRAMS.
