handwritten:

1. SCENARIO: Here is a real situation, read and analyze then answer what is
ask for.
A worker was attempting to correct an electrical problem involving two non-
operational lamps. He examined the circuit in the area where he thought the
problem was located. He had not shut off the power at the circuit breaker panel
and did not test the wires to see if they were live. He was electrocuted when he
grabbed the two live wires with his left hand. He collapsed to the floor and was
found dead.

What procedures should have been put in place to prevent this accident?

- Electrical safety is not an option; it is a requirement for both employees and

employers. Regardless of how hard an employer tries to protect its employees or
how much safety training is provided, the ultimate responsibility rests with the
employee. Every accident or injury includes the human factor.

The following procedures may be considered to avoid this electrical accident:

1. EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE DE-ENERGIZED AND LOCKOUT/TAGOUT APPLIED.

- Before working on or near exposed, live electrical parts, they must be de-
energized. By locking and tagging out the electrical system or parts of the system,
you can prevent accidents and isolate electrical energy.
2. WHEN WORKING ON AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT IS DE-
ENERGIZED.
- Never handle any wires or conductors unless you are absolutely certain that
their electrical supply has been turned off. Make certain that circuits are
locked out and tagged out so that they cannot be re-energized.
3. LOOK ABOVE FOR ELECTRICAL LINES WHILE WORKING OVERHEAD.
- When performing any overhead work or maintenance, keep an eye out for
electrical lines. Most workplaces have live electrical equipment and parts
above the floor level that are only accessible via ladders or elevated
platforms.
4. USE A NON-CONDUCTIVE PORTABLE LADDER WITH NON-CONDUCTIVE SIDE
RAILS.
- Set the ladder at a safe angle to avoid slipping. Ascertain that the ladder's
base is well-supported and that the ground or floor is level. Also, before using
a ladder, always inspect its condition.
 2. Supposing in a school building, a fire is discovered. What must be done to be
safe? What are the primary concerns?

- When there is a fire, the foremost priority is safety and injury prevention.
Individuals who respond appropriately will ensure the safety of others and limit the
harm caused by fire and smoke. Every school must take the appropriate preparations
to avoid anything bad happening in the event of an emergency, such as a fire.
Students need to be trained by firefighters on how to use some of the firefighting
appliances like fire extinguishers. School officials should ensure that the electrical
wiring in the building is inspected on a regular basis.

1. Sound the alarm

Anyone who discovers a fire must immediately sound the alarm by activating the
nearest fire alarm call.
2. Report the fire
- The fire should be notified to the fire department as soon as possible, using
whatever means are available.
3. Direct everyone to evacuate the building. 
- When the fire alarm sounds, students must be instructed to exit the building in a
single stream, calmly, orderly, and quietly. Regardless of the origin of the fire, pupils
must not sprint or race to the exits, as they risk collapsing and colliding with one
another.

4. Assemble and roll call

- In the event of a fire, instructors' responsibility is to direct children to the nearest
evacuation routes to a safe zone. They must do everything possible to keep everyone
calm and tidy.
