    This document discusses electrical safety hazards and procedures. It identifies electric shock as a primary hazard caused by electric current passing through the human body. The severity of shock depends on factors like current duration and path. Body resistance also varies based on whether skin is dry or wet. Shock can occur by touching live wires, equipment, or being grounded while touching electrified objects. Protection methods include isolation, current limitation, earthing, insulation. Electrical safety requires checking for proper earthing, loose connections, use of circuit breakers, insulating hand tools and lamps, and employing qualified electricians.

    Electric Shock

    It is sudden & accidental stimulation of the


    bodys nervous system by electric current. It
    is the result of passage of electric current
    through the human body

    Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker

    For portable power tools power supply should


    be taken through ELCB

    ELCBs OF 30 mA sensitivity , 63Amps, 3


    poles

    Test the ELCB weekly and record it.

    17

    Hand Lamps

    Only 24V hand lamps are to be used

    Hand lamps are to be enclosed by glass


    surrounded by metal wire mesh

    Hand lamps used for confined space work


    should be of all insulated type with no joints
