REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Risk perception and decision making in hazard analysis: improving safety for the
Electricity is unique among energy sources in that its use is ubiquitous in everyday life,
yet it also has the potential to be instantly fatal when contacted. Due to its familiarity and
everyday use, people are often complacent to electrical hazards and underestimate the
risks associated with exposure to electricity. Many veterans in the electrical industry
came of age in an era when best practices for electrical work had not yet been
incidents. Over the past several decades there has been a movement in the industry to
improve safe work practices based on these experiences. This has resulted in great
challenge faced today is to transfer the knowledge gained from past experience to
workers who may not have witnessed serious electrical incidents, and as a result, may
fail to recognize the potential for injury associated with electrical work. This paper will
explore how perception of risk affects a worker’s decision making process to recognize
electrical hazards, and assess the likelihood and severity of the associated risks. Several
case studies of electrical incidents will be presented to demonstrate flaws in the decision
making process that contributed to the incident. Specific examples will be used to
illustrate some of the less obvious hazards associated with electrical equipment. Finally,
there will be discussion on methods to facilitate knowledge transfer to better train the
next generation to recognize hazards and mitigate risks associated with electrical work.

The traditional approach to the assessment of the fire hazards of electrical cables was
based on an assessment of flame spread (rate) over the surface of the cable, the
occurrence of halogens (in cable polymer components, for example, in the insulation,
bedding or sheath) and the smoke density. Today, the traditional approach is based on an
assessment of the reaction to fire class and maintenance of circuit integrity. The reaction
to fire classification of electrical cables has 7 classes (Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca
and Fca) and there are additional classifications according to smoke production (s1, s2
and s3), flaming particles/droplets (d0, d1 and d2) and acidity (a1, a2 and a3). The
reaction to fire class reflects the cable’s contribution to fire development (its contribution
increasing, by severity, from Aca to Fca). Circuit integrity maintenance is only used for
cables that power critical devices (for example, emergency lifts). Circuit integrity is
quantified by the time that a cable is able to power a critical device under fire conditions.
The main deficiency of the traditional approach is the limited application of the reaction
to fire class and maintenance of circuit integrity in fire science and fire engineering.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) concluded that effective
management of worker safety and protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent
and the severity of work-related injuries. Effective risk management addresses all work-
related hazards including those potential hazards that could result from a change in
standards. Risk is defined as the possibility of loss or injury. Risk is determined by the
probability of an incident occurring along with the physical and economic impact on
employees, as well as electrical equipment and systems. Managing risk means that the
electrical hazards must first be identified through assessments and analysis and then
prioritized in order to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and impact of
unfortunate incidents and events that may occur. With the knowledge, standards, and
paper addresses the decision-making techniques needed to make sound electrical safety

versus risk
Most occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals understand the difference
between hazard and risk. However, the distinction between these terms is not well
understood in the electrical industry, where they are often used interchangeably. This gap
that electrical hazards, and the risks arising from those hazards, are effectively
addressed. The objective of this article is to clarify the difference between hazard and
risk and explain how OHS risk management principles can be applied to electrical
hazards.

The study investigated the assessment on electrical installation and maintenance on the
basic standard core competency and level of knowledge and skills on safety measures
and procedures for electrical installation and maintenance of the knowledge and skills
the measures of the study and purposive sampling was gathered for the sample
population of the respondents. The study comprised twenty-nine (29) respondents only.
Findings showed that knowledge and skills assessment on electrical installation and
maintenance of TVL students evaluated the success program in electrical installation and
maintenance, involved and confirms teachers for proper registration and training
assessment instruments and implementation of the work practice among students. It also
showed that basic core competency of knowledge and skills assessment in terms of
multifaceted and electrical installation process and content, and safety procedures
provided electrical installation on the increased capacity and maintenance of the trends
and process of safety procedures. Similarly, the level of knowledge and skills safety
measures and procedures identified hazards and risks constructed the TVL subject on
hazards and risks as safety of students during electrical installation actual activities,
evaluation of hazards and risk verified the system of hazards and risks evaluation
techniques that applied to some aspects and consideration of hazard process and risk, and
control of hazard and risk provided limitations to overcome the control of hazards and
risks for students during actual activities in electrical installation and maintenance.

in electrical installation and maintenance. Six students are classified as "Very Aware,"
indicating a high level of understanding and proactive engagement with safety protocols. The
majority, comprising ten students, falls into the category of "Somewhat Aware," suggesting a
moderate yet foundational grasp of potential risks. However, four students are categorized as
"Not Very Aware," signaling a need for targeted educational initiatives to enhance their
awareness and ensure safer practices. Notably, none of the students are labeled as "Not

Correlational analysis between knowledge on Hazard and Risk between practical
performance among Grade 12 E.I.M. students
The correlational analysis conducted between knowledge on Hazard and Risk and
academic practical performance among Grade 12 E.I.M. students revealed a substantial and
positive relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.78. This strong correlation suggests
that as students' understanding of hazard and risk factors increases, their academic practical
performance tends to improve. While this correlation is significant, it is important to note that
correlation does not imply causation, and other factors may influence academic practical
performance. The findings imply potential practical implications for educators, indicating that
a focus on hazard and risk knowledge in the curriculum may positively impact students'
performance in practical academic activities. However, further research is recommended to
explore specific aspects of hazard and risk knowledge that contribute most significantly to
