All About Workplace Electrical Safety Things You Should Know About Workplace Electrical Safety A Presentation Of Current Solutions PC www.CurrentSolutionsPC.com

Workplace Electrical Hazards Every year, workplace electrical hazards causes many injuries, deaths and property damage throughout the United States. One of the primary reasons of 90% of the electrical hazards at workplace are connected with safety awareness. Any type of electrical work within a given facility requires planning and including all necessary safety measures.

Workplace Electrical Hazard Facts & Statistics

Every year, more than 300 deaths and 4000 injuries are recorded as a result of workplace electrical hazard.

In United States, electrical hazards are ranked number 6 among all causes of work-related deaths.

Every day, workplace electrical hazards causes at least one fatality.

On an average, employee encountered with electrical hazard stays away from work for 13 days.

From 1992 to 1998, an estimated 32,807 nonfatal workplace electrical injuries were recorded and were classified as electrical shock and 38% as electrical burns.

More than 46,000 workers were injured from workplace electrical hazards over the last 10 years.

Every day in U.S, a worker takes time off the job because of getting hurt so severely from electrical mishap.

NFPA 70E In order to reduce the number of electrical hazards at workplace, OSHA developed a workplace safety standard code “NFPA 70E” to help companies and employees stay protected against electrical hazards. The most common workplace electrical hazards are shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast. The NFPA 70E also helps assisting compliance with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926

Basic Workplace Electrical Safety

MAIN SUPPLIES Make sure all new electrical systems are installed to OSHA requirements for electrical installations. BS 7671 for U.K.

All electrical installations must be in a good working order

Providing enough socket-outlets for equipment in use is a must.

Be very careful with socket-outlets overloading - using adaptors can also cause fire.

Cutting off power in emergency with a clearly identified and accessible switch (EMO Button - Emergency Off)

Use nearby sockets for portable equipment to easily disconnect it in case of emergency.

USING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT Choose the right electrical equipment that is suitable for its working environment.

Ensure equipment safety and maintenance in a safe condition

Make sure any equipment used in flammable or explosive atmosphere must be designed in a way that avoids sparks.

Small electrical equipment such as light bulbs and other small devices can be hazardous if broken.

Maintenance & Repairs Make sure all equipment are fitted with rated fuse.

Always avoid wires inside a cable working loose from plugs or inside equipment by ensuring outer sheaths firmly clamped.

Avoid insulating tape to repair cable cuts and go for complete replacement of damaged cable sections.

Make sure you have the best connectors to join cable lengths.

Make sure all wire connections are secure.

Awareness Is Safety As mentioned in one of the earlier slides, awareness is safety. 90% of the workplace electrical hazards result as a lack of awareness. Make sure all of your staff technical or non-technical have the right knowledge to avoid any potential electrical hazard within a facility.
