 Electrical Hazard

Electricity can either be "static" or "dynamic"

Electrical Hazard

An electrical hazard is a
dangerous condition where a
worker can or does make
electrical contact with
energized equipment or a
conductor

3
 What you can do

Identify potential electrical hazards in the workplace

Create the necessary policies and programs

Provide personal protective equipment as appropriate

Provide training on how to safely work with or near

electrical hazards.

Electrostatic Hazard

Static electricity :
▰ Generated by rubbing two
nonmagnetic objects together.
▰ Attraction occurs because the
substance with an excess of
electrons transfers them to the
positively-charged substance.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
AND INJURIES
7
 Electrical Injuries
Electric Shocks
A voltage as low as 50 volts
applied between two parts of the
human body causes a current to
flow that can block the
electrical signals between the
brain and the muscles.
Electrical burns
Electrical current that passes
through the human body could
heats the tissue along the length
of the current flow, resulting in
deep burns that often require
major surgery and are
permanently disabling.
Loss of muscle
control
Electric shock would caused a
painful muscle spasms, strong
enough to break bones or
dislocate joints, due to the
persons being stuck on the
electric shock

 Electrical Injuries caused by Equipments

Overhead power lines

People working close to overhead electricity lines and cables often suffer
serious injury and death if the work is not properly controlled. The most
common accidents involve a vehicle being driven into power lines or part of a
vehicle being raised into them.

Electrical maintenance
Electrical accidents commonly occur whilst equipment is being maintained.
This may be electrical equipment such as switchgear or equipment that uses
electrical power.

.
Ignition of explosive atmospheres
Accidents can happen when unsuitable equipment is used in potentially explosive
atmospheres or where suitable equipment has not been correctly maintained.

 Hazardous Locations

In electrical engineering, hazardous locations are defined as places where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to
flammable gases, flammable liquid–produced vapors, combustible liquid–produced vapors, combustible dusts, or ignitable
fibers/flyings present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Electrical equipment that must
be installed in such classified locations should be specially designed and tested to ensure it does not initiate an explosion, due
to arcing contacts or high surface temperature of equipment.

It is divided into different classes as follows:

11
Minimum Clear Working Space

12
 Minimum Clear Working Space

Where conditions (i), (ii), and (iii) are as follows:

(i) Exposed live parts on one side and no live or grounded parts on the other side of the working space, or exposed live
parts on both sides effectively guarded by suitable wood or other insulating materials. Insulated wire or insulated bus

bars operating at not over 300 volts shall not be considered live parts.

(ii) Exposed live parts on one side and grounded parts on the other side. Concrete, brick, or tile walls will be considered

as grounded surfaces.

(iii) Exposed live parts on both sides of the workspace [not guarded as provided in condition (i)] with the operator

between.

FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

 First Aid

First Aid Electric Shock

Treatments Steps
1. Shutting off current
2. Resuscitation
3. Analgesia
4. Sometimes cardiac monitoring for 6 to 12 h
5. Wound care

15
First Aid

The first priority is to break contact between

the patient and the current source by shutting
off the current (eg, by throwing a circuit
breaker or switch, by disconnecting the device
from its electrical outlet). If power lines could
be high voltage, to avoid shock to the
rescuer, no attempts to disengage the
patient should be made until the power is
shut off.
