 Hazard Brainstorming

 Where are electrical hazards on oil and

gas well sites?

2 ©2006 TEEX
 Statistics

 Electrocution: Among most frequent

causes of occupational injury death in
US
 295 fatalities/year; 4309 lost time
 1992-2002: 9% decrease
 Most frequent cause: Overhead power
lines

3 ©2006 TEEX
 Factors in Fatal Electrocutions

 Safe work practices implemented and

followed?
 Adequate/required PPE provided and worn?
 Lockout/tagout procedures implemented and
followed?
 OSHA, NEC, NESC compliance?
 Worker and supervisor training adequate?
 (from NIOSH)

4 ©2006 TEEX
 Types of Electrical Injuries

 Electrocution (death due to electrical

shock)
 Electrical shock
 Burns (ugly pictures here)
 Falls

5 ©2006 TEEX
 Hazard Recognition

 How can you sense electrical danger?

 Cannot see, smell, taste, or hear danger
 Can recognize unsafe conditions

6 ©2006 TEEX
 Electrical Terminology

 Current – movement of electrical charge

 Resistance – opposition to current flow
 Voltage – measure of electrical force
 Conductors – substances with little
resistance to electricity (such as metals)
 Insulators – substances with high resistance
to electricity (such as wood, rubber, glass, &
bakelite)
 Grounding – a conductive connection to the
earth (which acts as a protective measure)
7 ©2006 TEEX
 Electrical Shock

 Received when current passes through

body
 Severity depends on:
 Path of current through body
 Amount of current flowing through body
 Length of time body is in circuit
 Also: voltage, moisture, heart cycle, health
 Low voltage is NOT low hazard!
8 ©2006 TEEX
 Dangers of Electrical Shock

 Currents >75 mA* can cause ventricular

fibrillation (rapid, ineffective heartbeat)
 mA = milliampere = 1/1,000 of an ampere
 Death within minutes unless a defibrillator
is used
 75 mA is not much current
(a small power drill uses 30 times as much)

9 ©2006 TEEX
 Effects of Current on Body

 1 mA: Perception level, slight tingling.

 5 mA: Slight shock; not painful.
 Can usually let go.
 Involuntary reactions can cause injuries.
 6-30 mA: Painful shock
 Muscular control lost
 Freezing current or “let-go” range

10 ©2006 TEEX
 Effects of Current on Body

 50-150 mA: Extreme pain

 Respiratory arrest; cannot let go
 Death possible
 1000-4300 mA: Ventricular fibrillation
 Muscular contraction; nerve damage
 Death likely
 10000 mA: Cardiac arrest
 Severe burns, probable death
11 ©2006 TEEX
 How Shock Happens

 Connection between:
 2 wires of energized circuit
 1 wire of energized circuit and ground
 Metallic part in contact with energized wire
and ground

12 ©2006 TEEX
 Inadequate Wiring Hazards

 What happens when a wire is too small

to carry the current safely?
 Overheating
 Risk of fire or short circuit
 Fuse acts as sacrificial
weak link
 Fuse too strong? Wire Gauge

Other parts of the system

WIRE
