    Occupational Health And Safety - Electrical Equipment In The Workplace - Presentation Transcript

    1. Occupational Health & Safety Electrical Safety In The Office
    2. Electrical Safety Issues
      • Clearing jams in photocopiers, paper shredders
      • Liquid spillages
      • Condition of appliances
      • Extension leads
      • Overloading
      YAAAAARGH, I be a pirate captain! And I be here to teach ye about electrical safety!
    3. Electrical Safety Hazards
      • Inserting fingers or metal objects (screwdrivers, letter-openers) into working parts of office machines.
      • Electrically powered machine, appliance or tool that may become 'live' to the touch after having liquid spilt over it.
      • Electrical appliance or tool has developed a fault, or has defective insulation or exposed wiring.
      YAAAAARGH, here be some hazards!
    4. Electrical Safety Hazards
      • Extension lead which has exposed wiring or damaged insulation.
      • Using a series of adaptors to connect additional appliances to a power socket may overload the circuit to which it is attached, and cause an 'outage'.
      YAAAAARGH, here be some MORE hazards, matey!
    5. Electrical Safety Solutions
      • Check that photocopiers and shredders can not be opened whilst power remains switched on.
      • Ensure staff know correct (safe) procedures for accessing machines to clear paper jams.
      • Call for technician to deal with problems which staff can not resolve using instructions provided.
      Aye, here be some solutions for ye.
    6. Electrical Safety Solutions
      • Alert staff for need to keep liquids well away from all equipment connected to the electricity supply.
      • Advise staff to disconnect equipment from power supply before mopping up spillages.
    7. Electrical Safety Solutions
      • Have all electric appliances inspected, tested and tagged on a regular basis.
      • Where equipment is identified for repair, it should be immediately removed from service and appropriately labelled to prevent further use.
      • Use extension leads for temporary
      • connection - not as a permanent method of
      • supplying power.
      • If an extension cord has to be used and
      • is exposed to foot traffic, make sure it is
      • secured (taped down?) and protected from damage.
      Electrical Safety Solutions
    8. Electrical Safety Solutions
      • If additional appliances needed permanently, install a larger power socket (eg. 4 - sockets).
      • Discourage the use of adaptors and connection of unauthorised appliances which may overload the circuit dangerously (eg. fan heaters, electric radiators in winter).
      Done!
    9. Electrical Safety Examples YAAAAARGH, I BEEN HIT BY ELECTRICITY!
    10. Electrical Safety Examples Here be more!
