TOPIC 1 - Electrical Safety Maintenance
The exact effect is dependent upon a large number of things including the size of the
voltage, which parts of the body are involved, how damp the person is, and the length of
time the current flows.
When an electrical current passes through the human body it heats the tissue along the
length of the current flow. This can result in deep burns that often require major surgery and
are permanently disabling. Burns are more common with higher voltages but may occur from
domestic electricity supplies if the current flows for more than a few fractions of a second.
iii. Loss of muscle control/ lumpuh/ Kehilangan kawalan otot
People who receive an electric shock often get painful muscle spasms
that can be strong enough to break bones or dislocate joints. This loss
of muscle control often means the person cannot ‘let go’ or
escape the electric shock. The person may fall if they are working at
height or be thrown into nearby machinery and structures.
iv. Thermal burns/haba panas
Overloaded, faulty, incorrectly maintained, or shorted electrical
equipment can get very hot, and some electrical equipment gets
hot in normal operation. Even low voltage batteries (such as
those in motor vehicles) can get hot and may explode if they are
shorted out.
People can receive thermal burns if they get too near hot surfaces
or if they are near an electrical explosion. Other injuries may
result if the person pulls quickly away from hot surfaces whilst
working at height or if they then accidentally touch nearby
machinery.

Explain the practice and precaution when work at ‘on site’/near
electricity?
a. Having knowledge about the dangers of electrical work to be done and how
to control these hazards .
b . Always comply with the safety regulations in the workplace that have been
set.
c . Ensure that the electricity supply are short - open (switch off ) before the
work carried out ( if applicable) .
d . Having the knowledge and practice caution and calm at work , hygiene and
environment place of work, do not smoke and always practice safety
coordination with colleagues .
e . When working at height , workers should use appropriate support
equipment such as ladders, wood or aluminum , steel scaffolding or work
platforms , safety belts or other props necessary to ensure that work can be
carried out in a safe condition .
f . Use electrical equipment in good condition and safe to use and supply of
electricity to the equipment shall be by casting protective device (RCD ) of
30 mA sensitivity .
g . Make sure the electrical supply cable exposed while at work is covered by
a protective mechanism.
h . If there are flammable materials or corrode , security measures should be
taken according to the relevant safety regulations
a. To prevent and reduce fault.
b. To minimize the maintenance cost.
c. To prolong the life cycle of machines.
Meaning of maintenance.
Maintenance means to detect, repair or prevent
damage on an apparatus so that it can function
properly
poor maintenance can lead to dangerous
situations, accidents.
Therefore regular maintenance is essential to
ensure that the machinery, equipment and
working environment that is safe and reliable.
Indirect, planned maintenance can protect and
reduce.

How to prevent and reduce fault?
Discussion:
How to prolong the life of Machine
a. To ensure items or components met
the specification.
not.
What we should do?
Comprehensive Maintenance covers such thing as the
following:
The knowledge.
The ability or the lack of the product or
components.Know whether the product meet
specifications or not.
Protection-
From the knowledge - give maximum protection to
product. Example: temperature durability
Repair.
To ensure that product or components meet the
specifications, repair should always be done.
Inspection.
To ensure inspection is done, a record book should
available so that the inspection conducted according the
procedure.
To ensure affordable cost of product that
produced - ANALYSIS.
Analysis should be done so that the cost of
product produced can provide reasonable
return
To ensure machine or equipment can be used
optimally, maintenance must be Done before the
machine or equipment is breakdown to prevent
the greater breakdown will occur.
a. Fault maintenance/Repair Maintenance
It is done when the machine or equipment being
damaged during operation. This method is fast
but for some machines it is not cost effective.
a. Maintenance schedule.
Maintenance
with planning

( Maintenance with/without planning)
a. Internal maintenance team.
They are made up of workers hired by the
companies regularly. • internal maintenance team
will do maintenance work and unscheduled service
and do preventative maintenance tasks
