Electrical Safety
Terminology
Circuit - complete path of the current. Includes electricity source, a conductor, and
the output device or load (such as a lamp, tool, or heater)

Current - electrical movement (measured in amps)

Voltage – is a force that makes the electricity moves through a wire (measure in
volts)

Resistance - restriction to electrical flow

Conductors – materials with little resistance to electricity that allow electricity to


flow

Insulators - materials with high resistance to electricity that prevent electricity


from getting to unwanted areas

Grounding – a conductive connection to the earth which acts as a protective


measure
Electricity – How it Works
• Electricity is the flow of energy
from one place to another
• Requires a source of power:
usually a generating station
• A flow of electrons (current)
travels through a conductor
• Travels in a closed circuit
Electrical Hazards
Electrical Hazards
Electrical Accidents are
Caused by the combination of
these Three Factors:

 Unsafe equipment

Electrical Injuries
There are four main types of electrical injuries:
 Direct:
 Electrocution or death due to electrical shock
 Electrical shock
 Burns

 Indirect - Falls
Electrical Shock
• An electrical shock is received when
electrical Current passes through the
body.

• You will get an electrical shock if a part


of your Body completes an electrical
circuit by…

• Touching a live wire and an electrical


ground, or

• Touching a live wire and another wire at


a different voltage.

35
Factors Affecting Degree of Electrocution
Damp
or dry?
1.The Amount of Current

2. Direction of Current through the Body


Critical path
3. Duration of the Contact (time). is the chest
cavity

Bare foot or w/ shoes? With Mat


insulator or direct to ground?
Burns
 Most common shock-
related injury
 Occurs when you touch
electrical wiring or
equipment that is
improperly used or
maintained
 Typically occurs on hands
 Very serious injury that
needs immediate attention
Falls
 Electric shock can also cause
indirect injuries

 Workers in elevated locations


who experience a shock may
fall, resulting in serious injury
or death
Safety-Related Work Practices
Use the Correct Wire

Must be 3-wire type and designed for hard or extra-hard use

• Wire used depends on operation, building materials,


electrical load, and environmental factors
• Use fixed cords rather than flexible cords
• Use the correct extension cord
Safety-Related Work Practices
Cords & Wires
• Insulate live wires
• Check before use
• Use only cords that are 3 -wire type
• Use only cords marked for hard or extra -hard
usage
• Use only cords, connection devices, and fittings
equipped with strain relief
• Remove cords by pulling on the plugs, not the
cords
• Cords not marked for hard or extra -hard use, or
which have been modified, must be taken out of
ser vice immediately
Safety-Related Work Practices
To protect workers from electrical shock:

 Use Barriers and Guards to


Prevent Passage through areas of
exposed energized equipment

 Pre-plan work, post hazard warnings


and use protective measures
Safety-Related Work Practices
Grounding
• Grounding creates a low-
resistance path from a tool to
the earth to disperse unwanted
current.

• When a short or lightning


occurs, energy flows to the
ground, protecting you from
electrical shock, injury and
death.
44
Safety-Related Work Practices
GFCI
(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter)
• Protects you from shock
• Detects difference in current between the
black and white wires
• If ground fault detected, GFCI shuts off
electricity in 1/40th of a second
• Use gfci’s on all 240-volt, single-phase,
15- and 20-ampere receptacles, or have an
assured equipment grounding conductor
program.
Safety-Related Work Practices
Ground Tools & Equipment
• Ground power supply systems,
electrical circuits, and electrical
equipment
• Frequently inspect electrical
systems to insure path to ground is
continuous
• Inspect electrical equipment before
use
• Don’t remove ground prongs from
tools or extension cords
• Ground exposed metal parts of
equipment
Safety-Related Work Practices
• Inspect tools before use
• Use the right tool
correctly
• Protect your tools
• Use double insulated
tools

Double Insulated arking


Safety-Related Work Practices
Avoid Wet Conditions
• If you touch a live wire or other
electrical component while
standing in even a small puddle of
water you’ll get a shock.
• Damaged insulation, equipment, or
tools can expose you to live
electrical parts.
• Improperly grounded metal switch
plates & ceiling lights are
especially hazardous in wet
conditions.
• Wet clothing , high humidity, and
perspiration increase your chances
of being electrocuted.

48
Safety-Related Work Practices
Avoid Overhead Power Lines
• Stay at least 10 feet away
• Post warning signs
• Assume that lines are
energized
• Use wood or fiberglass
ladders, not metal
• Power line workers need
special training & PPE
Preventing Electrical Hazards - PPE

• Proper foot protection (not tennis


shoes)
• Rubber insulating gloves, hoods,
sleeves, matting, and blankets
• Hard hat (insulated -
nonconductive)

LOTO

Lockout Tagout
 Failure to establish a Written Energy Control Program.

 Failure to develop machine-specific Lockout Procedures.

 Failure to properly Train Employees.

 Failure to conduct Periodic Audits.

 Failure to provide or utilize the Proper Lockout Devices.


LOCKOUT is blocking
the flow of energy from
the power source to the
equipment – and keeping
it blocked out.
TAGOUT
Is a written warning
tag placed on the
energy isolating device
which is in the off or
closed position.
Group Lockout Devices
• Used when more than one
person doing maintenance or
repair on same machine or
equipment.

• Machinery or equipment can’t


be started up until all locks are
removed.

• Each person places and


removes their own lock.

6 STEPS TO LOCK OUT / TAG OUT

1. Preparation for Shutdown


2. Shutdown Equipment
3. Isolation all Energy Sources
4. Application of LOTO
5. Release or Control of Energy
6. Verify Equipment Isolation
1. PREPARATION FOR SHUTDOWN
• Know the equipment and
its energy source before
working on it.
• Check with your
supervisor for a written
procedure that details
the shutdown of the
equipment you’re
working on.

Understand Equipment Hazards.


Notify Affected Employee &
Other Workers for Shutdown.
2. SHUTDOWN EQUIPMENT
 Turn off the equipment
as directed by the
company procedure.
 This may be done by the
use of ON and OFF
switch or a more
complicated method.

Turn all Switches to Off.


Shut all Control Valves.
Disable all sources of
Energy
3. ISOLATE ALL ENERGY SOURCES
• Find and isolate every
form of energy supplying
machine uses.
• Pull fuses,
• throwing disconnects ;
• (Capping) blinding any
secondary sources of
energy.

Shut off Valves. Open


Breakers & Disconnect.
4. APPLICATION OF LOTO
 Application of Lock and
Tags to all energy-isolating
equipment, valves and
switches.
 In situations where multiple
pieces of equipment are
being locked, an authorized
employee places all keys in a
lock box to which each
employee attaches his or her
personal lock.
5. RELEASE OR CONTROL OF ENERGY
1. Relieve, disconnect or restrain any
residual hazardous energy that
could be present.
2. Check all moving parts have
stopped turning. Stop rotating parts.
3. Relieve trapped pressure.
4. Blank pipe flanges.
5. Install ground wires to discharge
electrical capacitors.
6. Block or support elevated
equipment.
7. Drain fluids & Vent Gases.
8. Allow System to Cool
6. VERIFY EQUIPMENT ISOLATION

Don’t take anything for


granted. Double check
your steps. Verify that
you:
1. Shut down the
equipment,
2. Energy source
isolated,
3. Lock and tag applied
4. Any stored energy
controlled.
3 STEPS TO REMOVAL AND RE-ENERGIZING

1. Restore Work Area


 Remove all tools
 Double-check all
equipment components
 Replace all safety
features, such as
machine guards
 Close access panels that
were opened to perform
service on equipment
3 STEPS TO REMOVAL AND RE-ENERGIZING

2. Notify Personnel
• Notify all employees
that LOTO devices are
being removed.
• Remove employees
from the area or make
sure they are a safe
distance from the
equipment,
3 STEPS TO REMOVAL AND RE-ENERGIZING

3. Remove LOTO Devices


• The person who placed
each device must be the
one to remove it.
• If someone who placed a
LOTO device is not
present, notify your
supervisor who will follow
specific procedures. Never
remove it yourself.
After all devices are removed, tell
affected employees that LOTO is
ended and that the equipment is
Restarting the Equipment… being re-energized.
