    This document discusses electrical safety in the workplace and preventing electrical accidents. It recommends using barriers, guards, pre-planning work, posting warnings, and keeping workspaces clear to protect workers from exposed energized equipment. Examples of electrical accidents that can occur include electric shock from current passing through the body, arc flash burns from high heat and molten metal, and arc blast injuries from explosive forces that can cause hearing loss, lacerations, or percussion injuries. The document concludes by stating electrical equipment should be labeled, free of hazards, and used properly, and that workers should protect themselves from electrical shock, work in comfortable positions, and use necessary safety equipment when operating electrical tools.

    ELECTRICAL ACCIDENT IN WORK

    PLACE
    GROUP B

    INTRODUCTION

    SAFETY IN A WORK PLACE


    To protect workers from electrical accident:
    - Use barries and guards to prevent passage through
    areas to exposed energized equipment
    - Pre-Plan work, post hazard warning and use
    protective measures
    - Keep working spaces and walkways clear of cords

    EXAMPLE OF ELECTRICAL ACCIDENT


    ELECTRIC SHOCK
    - Electric current through body
    - Electrocution and Burns
    Arc-Flash
    - Burns due to high heat and molten metal
    - Fire Ignition
    Arc-Blast
    - Hearing loss due to blast explosion
    - Lacerations/punctures from blast debris
    - Percussion force
    - Explosion

    REVIEW THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENT

    CONCLUSION
    Electrical equipment must be:
    - Listen and labeled
    - Free from hazards
    - Used in the proper manner
    If you use electrical tool from electrical shock
    - Be protect from electrical shock
    - Used them in a comfortable position
    - Be provided with necessary safety equipment
