Overview of Electrical Safety Risks

For both employers and employees, workplace
safety is a top priority. It is particularly critical
for individuals who install and maintain
electrical systems. Nothing can compensate for
the loss of a worker or a loved one who has died
as a result of an electrical disaster. No matter
how hard an organization tries to protect its
employees or how much safety training is
provided, the worker bears the ultimate
responsibility. Every accident or injury involves
the human aspect.
The purpose of this manual is to identify
electrical safety problems and provide solutions
to reduce or eliminate their consequences. It's a
how-to guide for increasing electrical safety,
with details on government rules, industry
standards, and work practices. It explains how to
achieve the requirements while minimizing the
risks. While portions of standards, rules, and
codes, particularly those relating to electrical
safety, are quoted or described here, the user is
responsible for adhering to all applicable
standards in their entirety.
Why is Electrical Safety so
Important?
Despite the fact that electrical risks have always
been known, major injuries, deaths, and property
damage occur on a regular basis. Statistics and
information are compiled on a regular basis by
organizations such as the US Department of
Labor and the National Safety Council. The
importance of electrical safety is demonstrated
in the table below.

FACTS...
 On the job, 97 percent of all electricians have been shocked or injured.
 Every year, over 30,000 workers are electrocuted.
 Every year, around 3600 people suffer from debilitating electrical contact accidents.
 Electrocutions are the fourth most common cause of traumatic workplace deaths.
 Each year, about 2000 workers are taken to burn centers with serious Arc-Flash burns.
 According to estimates, ten arc-flash accidents occur every day in the United States.

 Burn injuries are responsible for 60% of industrial fatalities.

 Every year, around 1000 electrical workers are killed in job accidents.
 Severe electrical burns can cost more than $4 million per person in medical bills.
 The total cost of an electrical event can be as high as $15 million.
 Workplace injuries cost the United States $14.6 billion in 2002.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This section covers the fundamental standards for a safe working environment. Electrical
dangers Workers' safety begins with meticulous planning and design. Safe Work practices shall
be utilized to protect personnel from harm while they are exposed to hazardous substances.
Electrical dangers Personnel are trained in safety-related work practices that are relevant to their
jobs. It's talked about what each person's work entails.

ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS

Only qualified individuals, including those working under the direct supervision of a qualified
individual, are permitted to enter. Person is responsible for performing electrical repairs. Any
electrical maintenance or troubleshooting should be done first. When this task is completed, all
sources of dangerous electrical energy must be placed in an electrically safe location. Unless
when troubleshooting, testing, or regions that are hazardous are required Infeasible.

WORK ON ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

The first thing to think about when working on any electrical system with a voltage of 50 volts
(V) or higher is safety. To put the circuit in an electrically safe working condition, it is not
considered a routine activity to work on electrified circuits of 50 V or greater. All of the circuits
and Equipment shall not be deemed activated until it has been opened, labeled, and/or locked in
accordance with an approved procedure. Permitted technique, and the de-energization was
verified using an approved electrical test device it is understood that everything is in working
condition. The circuit should be de-energized and, where practicable, re-energized after de-
energizing. Be put to some sort of test (e.g., hitting the start button) to show that harmful energy
has been released deleted. A review of system designs and/or system walk-throughs should be
carried out in order to within the scope of the proposed work activity, identify all potential
sources of electrical energy. Where there's a chance the circuit could be powered from a different
source, or because capacitive devices can retain or build up a charge, the circuit should be
carefully designed. Shorted and grounded Workers should be aware of the presence of storage
batteries in equipment. Safeguarded against the many dangers linked with those devices
whenever work is to be done on a de-energized system, the work plan must also identify and
describe the de-energized system. Give protection against any unintentional contact with
electrified parts in the area of the project when electrical equipment contains stored or
mechanically dangerous materials, these sources of energy must be prevented or somehow dealt
with relieved.
