Electrical Safety Procedures

Are essential parts of any electrical safety program, Electrical workers must know where the
disconnect switches and electrical panels are located in the workplace so that the electrical
equipment can be quickly de-energized when an electrical accident occurs. Posting the location
of the electrical panel on servicing equipment is also a great way to enhance electrical safety.

Establishing strict Electrical Safety Procedures must include properly labeling electrical
equipment. This means that disconnect switches and electrical panels are clearly labeled and in
clear view to show what equipment or power source that the electrical equipment control. At
least three feet must be clear from obstruction at all times so that electrical panels can be
safely operated and maintained.

Electrical fires and electrical shock kill electrical workers every year, so it's important to
establish and adhere to any set of established electrical safety procedures.

Electrical accidents can occur from overloaded circuits or wires. Sparks coming from electrical
equipment can also ignite flammable vapors or other combustible materials. Unfortunately,
most electrical incidents occur from electrical equipment misuse or from use of faulty electrical
equipment. The following electrical safety procedures, which are set by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA), can greatly reduce risk of an electrical incident.

 Miles Electrical Safety Procedure 2020

Electrical Safety Procedures must include a way to prevent overloads by preventing overloaded
wiring and circuits. This is to avoid arcs and overheating wires that can cause shock injuries and
electrical fires.

Electrical Safety Procedures must include the Inspection of Electrical Equipment and insure all
electrical equipment (power tools, extension cords, appliances, among others) are inspected
before anyone uses them. Plugs and cords should be not twisted, abraded, frayed, worn, or
corroded; exposed wires also shouldn’t be missing any ground pins. Live electrical parts have to
be physically guarded or properly insulated. Damaged equipment with defective plugs or cords
must not be used until fixed by a qualified electrician.

Comprehensive Electrical Safety Procedures include

Checking Grounding Connections. Check all electrical outlets and be sure that they have a good
grounding connection (plugs should be three-pronged plug and wires
should be double-insulated).

Electrical Safety Procedures means

Using Highly-Qualified Electrical Personnel to ensure that wiring, electrical outlets and all the
building’s electrical equipment are inspected, maintained and repaired by highly-qualified
personnel (electricians, among others).

Electrical Safety Procedures also includes

Working On De-Energized Equipment. This means checking to see that all electrical equipment
is de-energized when work is done. Many electrical incidents occur because personnel try to
work when electrical equipment is live. Ensure that plugs and cords are disconnected from all
equipment and that no one else can reactivate this equipment until all work is done. When
servicing is being done on hard-wired equipment, the circuit breaker has to be turned off and
locked and tagged with a tag and special padlock. Work on live equipment can only be done by
electricians with Lockout/Tag out training.

Most Electrical Safety Procedures include a way to isolate Flammables, Solvents

and Chemicals from a point of ignition. This means a way to ISOLATE all organic
solvents and corrosive chemicals from electrical cords because they can easily
erode wires and the insulation. With that in mind, also isolate materials that
can easily catch on fire away from electrical equipment.

Electrical Safety Procedures also means keeping Electrical Equipment Dry to

insure that all electrical equipment is kept away from damp or wet locations
(unless equipment is specifically rated for these conditions).

And Electrical Safety Procedures include keeping the electrical workplace dry. By doing this, you
reduce the risk of an electrical incident by ensuring that your feet, hands and body are free
from perspiration or dampness when operating electrical equipment. Also, never operate
electrical equipment when you’re standing on a wet floor.

Emergency

Electrical Safety Procedures includes Calling 112 In Case Of an Electrical Fire. Abandon your
work area and use portable fire extinguishers or call 112 if an electrical fire occurs. Also, and do
not attempt to put the electrical fire out using water. The proper fire extinguisher used is “ABD”
or “C.” Only shut down the main power source if it’s safe and possible to do so.

Electrical Safety Procedures also include avoiding Contact with Shock Victims. Avoid touching
anyone (or any kind of electrical equipment) that falls victim to electrical shock. Call 112
immediately so that the person can be treated by a fire fighter or paramedic. Only shut down
the main power source if it’s safe and possible to do so.
