Personal Protective Equipment
Learning objectives
After reading this information sheet you must be able to
1. Identify safety equipment

2. Awareness in hazards on job
_____________________________________________________________________________-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Basic PPE consists of:

1. Cotton protective clothing with long sleeves
2. Helmet or hard hat
3. Goggles for eye protection
4. Gloves (leather or rubber)
5. Hearing protectors
6. Safety footwear
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to items

typically worn by a worker to provide protection from
recognized hazards. Depending on the job task to be

Denmar C. Pingol 01
performed, PPE for the electric power industry generally includes safety glasses, face shields,
hard hats, safety shoes, insulating (rubber) gloves with leather protectors, insulating sleeves,
and flame-resistant (FR) clothing. Additional PPE, such as fall protection equipment,
respirators, chemical-resistant or cut-resistant gloves, and chaps, may be required, depending on
the results of the hazard assessment required under 1910.132 or on additional "269"
requirements (for example, when working with brush chippers, chain saws, or stump cutters).

Denmar C. Pingol 01
Prior to requiring workers to wear PPE, employers are required to:
 Perform hazard assessments, as required, and determine the PPE needed to

protect workers.
 Provide training on the proper use of PPE for working on or near exposed energized parts.
 Discuss PPE needs during required job briefings.
 Inspect and test certain PPE such as insulating (rubber) gloves and sleeves (29 CFR
1910.137) to ensure that they are not damaged or defective, and will provide the
needed protection.

a system of belts or restraints to hold a person to
prevent falling or injury.
A safety harness is a form of personal

protective equipment (PPE) that is
designed to catch a person in case of
falling while working at height.
Electrical Hazards
What is ELECTRICAL HAZARD?
An electrical hazard is a dangerous condition where a worker can or does make electrical
contact with energized equipment or a conductor. From that contact, the person may sustain an
injury from shock, and there is a potential for the worker to receive an arc flash (electrical
explosion) burn, thermal burn or blast injury.
Electricity can either be "static" or "dynamic". Dynamic electricity is the uniform motion of
electrons through condition (electric current). Static electricity is the accumulation of charge
on surfaces as a result of contact and friction with another surface.
According to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) there were 83¹ electrocutions in Ontario
from 2001 through 2010. According to ESA, the most common cause of occupational
electrocution is using an improper procedure (60%)

Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to:
1. Define wiring device according to electrical code

2. Identify the types of wiring devices and its classification
3. Guidelines in selecting wiring devices
Introduction
Wiring devices are defined as single discrete units of electrical distribution systems which are
intended to carry but not utilize electric energy. Wiring devices are electrical devices used to
control and to provide connection points for low voltage outlets, lighting systems and appliances
(e.g., wall switches and receptacles). The Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) and National
Electrical Code (NEC) defines device as a unit of an electrical system that is intended to carry or
control but not utilize electric energy.
Types and Classification of Wiring Devices

This covers a wide assortment of system components that include, however not
limited to the following:
1. Switches and Plates

2. Relays and Conductors

Denmar C. Pingol 01
3. Receptacles and Plates
4. Conductors
5. Fuses and Circuit Breakers
6. Outlets (Floor Outlet, Grounding Type Convenience Outlet or otherwise
known as Special Purpose Outlet or SPO)
Guidelines for wiring device application designs.
Selecting and applying wiring devices. Receptacles, switches, plates, and others
are available in a wide range of sizes, ratings, and styles with specific features and
characteristics to meet most design/application requirements.
Grades of wiring devices, manufacturer's catalogs use a variety of terms to
indicate the quality or grade of wiring devices offered.
For example, the term "economy," "competitive," "intermediate," or "residential"
are sometimes used to indicate that the device is economically priced or designed for
light-duty applications. Terms such as "specification" or "super-specification" would
indicate devices that are of better quality, designed for greater reliability and usually
higher priced.

Denmar C. Pingol 01
However, none of these terms has an official status with standardizing agencies
such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory-Mutual (FM), Electrical Testing
Laboratories (ETL), or the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
Presently, UL lists wiring devices for only two grades, standard and hospital
grade. All devices, whether termed intermediate, economy, or specification must
meet identical UL requirements (although as mentioned above, specification grade
devices are of better quality construction).
Above all, the Philippine Electrical Code must be the basis for the guidelines for
wiring devices and application designs.
How to select wiring devices?

Here the steps in selecting wiring devices:
1. Select a known industry manufacturer.

2. Look for a multi- year product warranty.
3. Make sure that there is an easy and clear way to contact the manufacturers support.
4. Check for a connected equipment damage warranty.
5. Always ask for manufacturer’s manual
6. Select wiring devices which are well-made and durable.
7. Select materials that easy to use and install.
8. Select wiring devices according to the job requirements
9. Telephone Etiquette in Taking and Processing Orders

Terminology
Block diagram: a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented
by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks.

Figure 2-Circuit drawing
Line diagram: a one-line diagram or single-line diagram is a simplified notation for

representing an electrical system. The one-line diagram is similar to a block diagram except that
electrical elements such as switches, circuit breakers, transformers, and capacitors are shown by
standardized schematic symbols.

Pictorial diagram: a diagram that represents the elements of a system using abstract, graphic
drawings or realistic pictures.
Schematic diagram: a diagram that uses lines to represent the wires and symbols to represent
components. It is used to show how the circuit functions.
Figure 4—Schematic diagram
Wiring diagram (or pictorial): a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an

electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and how to make
the connections between the devices. A wiring diagram usually gives more information about the
relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices.
