    ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
    DEFINITION
    Any potential or actual threat due to electricity to the wellbeing
    of people, machinery or environment.
    TYPES OF ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:

    • ELECTRIC SHOCK
    Results in Electrocution, falls or movement into machinery
    • BURNS
    Results in burning of body and organs.
    •ARC BLASTS
    Results in electrocution and other body injuries
    Examples of Workplace Electrical
    Hazards

    Power lines Damaged Exposed


    receptacles conductors

    Extension wires Improper Broken bulbs


    grounding
    Sources of Electrical Hazards.
     Electrical hazards
     Working with electrical equipment lacking UL label
     Electrical equipments that has not been properly grounded
     Working with electrical equipment on damp floors
     Improper wiring
     Insulation failure
     Electrostatic hazards:
    Uncontrolled static electricity is responsible for a large number of serious industrial fires
    and explosions every year
     Lightning hazards :
    Lightning has the ability to create forest fires as well as local and large scale power
    outages that can be damaging to communication systems and electrical systems
    including computers.
    Examples of Sources of Electrical Hazards
