Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify safety equipment
2. Awareness in hazards on job
Guidelines for working on or near electrical equipment and conductors are found in
several documents, including:
Thirty thousand (30,000) electrical shock incidents occur every year. Since 1998,
according to the Ministry of Labour, 69 people were killed, 263 were critically injured
and 844 workers received more than minor injuries as a result of exposure to electrical
hazards.
Nearly half of these incidents involved people working on electrical equipment while it
was energized, including 28 workers who were killed and 255 who received serious
burns from an arc flash. Other causes of injury involved malfunctioning meters, faulty
equipment and the use of equipment in close proximity to live electricity.
The most common type of work to result in an electrocution is routine work involving
repair and maintenance. Ensure lockout procedures are followed and that circuits are
tested to ensure that they are de-energized. The main dangers of electrical hazards are
electrical shock and/or fire. In the past decade, 21 per cent of electrical-related
fatalities have involved workers in an electrical trade such as electricians. However, the
other 79 per cent involved workers in other occupations such as maintenance workers,
millwrights, apprentices, labourers, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
technicians, equipment operators, supervisors, and drivers.
The impact of an electrical injury or fatality can be devastating for the workers involved
and crippling in terms of production downtime, legal fees and associated costs.

Learning objectives:
Fish Tape
A fish tape is used to pull stranded or solid wire through metal or PVC
conduit. Cable lube is available to assist you in pulling the wires through the
pipe.
A standard tape measure is used for all kinds of field measurements, such as
setting heights for switches and outlets, centering lighting fixture boxes, and
marking surfaces for cutouts.
A voltage tester is used for a quick safety check to make sure there's no voltage in an
electrical wire or device before you start working on it. Non-contact voltage testers are
the simplest and safest types of testers because they can detect electricity just by being
near an outlet slot or wire.
A hammer is used to secure boxes equipped with nail-on brackets to wall studs
and other framing members in a home. You9ll also need one to drive wire
staples when installing new electrical cable.
Tongue-and-Groove Pliers
Wire Strippers
Diagonal cutting pliers, sometimes called side snips or dikes, are used to cut
wire. They are specially designed with a cutting edge that goes down to the tip
of the pliers, allowing you to get into tight areas to trim wires. Some types can
also detect live wires for safety
Linesman Pliers
Phillips Screwdrivers
Electricians keep screwdrivers with them at all times, for removing and
installing cover plates, outlets, switches, and many other devices. It's best to
have a few different lengths of Phillips screwdrivers as well as #1, #2, and #3
tip sizes.
Torpedo Level
A small level, such as a torpedo level, fits easily in a tool pouch and is used to
make sure your work is level and plumb. A great installation starts with level
boxes and straight switch and outlet covers.

Introduction
Article 406 covers the rating, type, and installation of receptacles, cord
connectors, and attachment plugs (cord caps). It also addresses their
grounding requirements. Some key points worth noting include:
Follow the grounding requirements of the specific type of device you9re using.
When installing replacement receptacles, follow the requirements of 406.4(D).
Mount receptacles following the requirements of 406.5.
Further, the devises are classified in terms with their functions as path
devices, control devices, fault devices and protective devices.
Path Devices are devices which serves as path of electric current of the
wiring system like wire (conductor) and all parts of the circuit that has a low
resistance.
Control Devices are devices which can regulate the flow of current. They can
make or break the circuit. Lighting Switches are common examples of control
devices
Fault Devices are devices which can immediately detect any fault in the wiring
system. GFCI and AFCI are common examples of fault devices.
Protective Devices are devices which is the weakest link of the circuit and will
