 ELECTRICAL SHOCKS

What is electric shock?

Electric shock is occurring upon contact of a human body with any source of voltage
high enough to cause sufficient current through the skin, muscles that may result to
burn or even more serious leading fatality.

Electrical Hazard Campaign. . .

In continuation of our internal electrical hazard campaign, most of
our jobs are involved in with electrical use. Welding jobs, using power
tools and series of cables were lying on the ground which can be
potential hazard to our work place.
Every one must participate and ensure that all electrical equipments
are properly maintained and daily check due to wear and tear prior to
use.
Direct supervision should involve there self and be vigilant to his workers in accordance to
approved HSE procedures and regulations.

Five Ways of Preventing Electrical Shock

1. Be Safety Conscious - Working with electrical circuits can be dangerous if you don’t take
certain safety precautions. Electrical shock can not only injure you but also kill you. Practice
safety when working on any circuit and slow down! When you hurry through a project, there is
a greater chance for an accident to occur.

2. Shut the Power Off-Always shut off the power to a circuit or device that you will be
working on. This is the first thing you should do before working on any electrical circuit. I
don’t know anyone who has been shocked by a circuit that is not energized.

3. Test the Circuit-After turning a circuit off, it's a good idea to check it with a tester to
be sure that, indeed, it is off. Ask assistance from a competent person.Never assume that
the circuit is off!

4. Do not repair, if you are not qualified-If any cable is open or any equipment need for
repair do not do yourself if you are no competent to do so. Call somebody who knows the job
and a competent electrician or a technician.

5. Wet Locations-Avoid wet areas when working with or on anything electrical. If there is a
reason that you have to be in that situation, wear rubber boots and gloves to lesson your
chance of getting shocked. Tools and appliances should be plugged into a GFCI outlet or GFCI
extension cord. Don't forget to dry your hands before grabbing any cord to plug it in or
unplug it. Wet hands and a frayed cord don't mix. You reach down to grab the cord and just
like that, you've been shocked! Believe it or not, it happens
