Some Points of Electrical Safety Precaution

 Only competent and qualified worker/technician shall perform the work.

 Permit to Work shall be obtained as a pre-requisite to perform the work.
 Risk assessment and safe work procedure shall be prepared prior start the work.
 All workers shall attend the toolbox meeting prior start the work.
 All walkways and stairs should be wide enough for personnel to navigate them safely,
adequate railing should be provided, and floor openings should be closed or have guard rails.
 Enough clearance from energized parts should be provided to avoid accidental contact.
 There should be sufficient illumination for personnel to clearly see their surroundings and
perform any work safely.
 Isolation and earthing works shall be done according to approved schematic drawings from
client.
 Exits should be clearly marked and evacuation routes should be free from obstructions.
 All substation metallic structures, fences, and equipment tanks should be connected to a
substation ground grid.
 Don't touch someone who's been electrocuted.
 Inspect & maintain your electrical tools.
 Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures.
 PPE shall be suitable to perform the work safely.
 Only fiber ladders are acceptable to be use inside substation.
 Always use insulated tools while working.
 Always use appropriate insulated rubber gloves and goggles while working on any branch circuit
or any other electrical circuit.
 Never try repairing energized equipment. Always work on de-energized equipment.
 Prior to start any work in electrical equipment’s. you must check the voltage first by using a
tester or multimeter.
 Never repair cuts with insulating tape.
 Use proper connectors to join cables.
 Take care while removing a capacitor from a circuit. A capacitor stores energy and if it’s not
properly discharged when removed it can easily cause an electric shock.
