Electrical safety at work, Peace of mind at
work
Working with electrical equipment poses various forms of danger and can lea d to very grave
accidents if safety measures are not taken. These safety measures extend to the staff as well as the
quality of the equipment being used. Even staff not involved in directly using the equipment should
be made aware of the procedure to minimize the possibility of a mishap. Some of these safety
measures are:
1. Quality check of equipment
All equipments should be inspected and maintained regularly so that they are kept in the safest state
possible. Loose wires and unearthed plugs should be noted and fixed, reducing the eventuality of
someone coming in contact with them. Installing earthing plugs will also help in reducing the
likelihood of a fire. Exposed wires should be cut away completely and new ones fitted. Make sure
that all plugs are firmly and securely fitted and that all of them are fused.
2. Brief the staff
Staff should be informed of the proper way to handle equipment and the safety procedures should
be mandatorily followed. The safety gear provided by the company should also be maintained
regularly, so that the staff feels confident in working with the equipment.
3. Easily accessible master switch
An ‘Emergency OFF’ or ‘Master Shut-Off’ switch should be present on all electrical equipment. This
switch should be easily identifiable and accessible so that prompt action can be taken in the
eventuality of an accident.
4. Use of sockets
None of the sockets should be overloaded with connections. Machines should be connected to
nearby sockets so that it is easy to disconnect them from the mains. All sockets should be
maintained to a standard quality and the use of adapters to increase the number of connections
should be minimised, as it can lead to fires. It should also be noted that the required voltage of the
equipment plugged in should coincide with the output from the socket.
By taking into account some easy to follow steps of electrical safety, one can prevent the occurrence
of very serious accidents. Electrical safety should be one of the top most priorities at a workplace,
especially one which uses a lot of electrical equipment.
