Electric shock is the effect produced on the body and particularly on the nervous system by an electrical current passing through it. The effect depends on the current strength which itself depends on the voltage and body resistance.
Failing to take the necessary precautions can lead to:
- injury or death
- fire or property damage
Common causes of electrocution are:
- Making contact with overhead wires
- Undertaking maintenance on live equipment
- Working with damaged electrical equipment - extension leads, plugs and sockets
- Using equipment affected by rain or water ingress
There are four main types of electrical injuries:
-Electrocution (death due to electrical shock)
-Electrical Shock
-Burns
-Falls
An arc flash happens when electric current flows through an air gap between conductors.
ARC BLAST
• Arc-blasts occur from high- amperage currents arcing through the air.
This can be caused by accidental contact with energized components or equipment failure.
• A DANGEROUS PRESSURE WAVE
• A DANGEROUS SOUND WAVE
• SHRAPNEL
• EXTREME HEAT
• EXTREME LIGHT.
ELECTRIC CURRENT
• Caused by the motion of electrons
• If channeled in a given direction, a flow of electrons occurs.
Severity of the shock depends on:
Path of current through the body
Amount of current flowing through the body Length of time the body is in the circuit

2. AN AVERAGE OF ONE WORKER IS
ELECTROCUTED ON THE JOB EVERY DAY!
There are four main types of electrical injuries:
• Electrocution (death due to electrical shock)
• Electrical Shock
• Burns
• Falls
PPT-008-01
2
3. CURRENT = The movement of electrical charge.
RESISTANCE = Opposition to current flow.
VOLTAGE = A measure of electrical force.
CONDUCTORS = Substances, such as metals, that
have little resistance to electricity.
INSULATORS = Substances, such as
wood, rubber, glass and bakelite, that have high
resistance to electricity.
GROUNDING = A conductive connection to the earth
which acts as a protective measure.
PPT-008-01
3
4. Received when current passes
through the body.
Severity of the shock depends on:
• Path of current through the body
• Amount of current flowing
through the body
• Length of time the body is in the
circuit
LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT
LOW HAZARD!
MEAN
PPT-008-01
4
5. Currents greater than 75mA
(1/1,000 of an ampere) can
cause ventricular fibrillation
(rapid, ineffective heartbeat)
• Will cause death in a few
minutes unless a
defibrillator is used.
• 75mA is not much current
–a small power drill uses
30 times as much.
PPT-008-01
5
6. When two wires have different potential
voltages, current will flow if they are connected.
• In most household wiring the black wires are at
110 volts relative to ground.
• The white wires are at zero volts because they
are connected to ground.
Contact with an energized (live) black wire
while touching the white grounded wire =
ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
PPT-008-01
6
7. Contact with an energized wire/any energized
electrical component + any grounded object =
SHOCK!
You can even receive an electrical shock when you
are not in contact with a ground.
CONTACT BOTH WIRES OF A 240 VOLT CABLE =
SHOCK, POSSIBLE ELECTROCUTION!
PPT-008-01
7
8. • Are the most common shockrelated nonfatal injury
• Occur when you touch electrical
wiring or equipment that is
improperly used or maintained
• Typically occurs on the hands
• Very serious injury that needs
immediate attention
PPT-008-01
8
9. Electrical shock can also cause
indirect or secondary injuries.
Employees working in an
elevated location who
experience a shock can
fall, resulting in serious injury or
even death.
PPT-008-01
9
10. A hazard exists when a conductor is
too small to safely carry the current.
Example: Using a portable tool with
an extension cord that has a wire
too small for the tool.
• Tool draws more current than cord
can handle =
Wire Gauge
overheating, possible fire without
Wire gauge measures
tripping the circuit breaker
wires ranging in size from
• Circuit breaker could be the right number 36 to 0 American
wire gauge (AWG)
size for the circuit but not for the
smaller wire extension cord
PPT-008-01
WIRE
10
11. • Too many devices plugged
into circuit = wires heat to
very high temperature =
possible fire
• Wire insulation melts =
arcing may occur = fire in
area where overload
exists (even inside a wall)
PPT-008-01
11
12. • Shut off electricity flow in the event of an
overload or ground-fault in the circuit.
• Include fuses, circuit breakers and groundfault circuit interrupters, or CGCI.
• Fuses and circuit breakers are “over current”
devices (too much current = fuses melt and
circuit breakers “trip” open).
PPT-008-01
12
13. • Protects you from dangerous electrical
shock.
• Detects a difference in current between
the black and white circuit wires (could
happen when electrical equipment is not
working properly causing a current
“leakage” known as ground fault).
• Ground fault detected = GFCI can shut
off electricity flow in as little as 1/40 of
a second protecting you from a
dangerous shock.
PPT-008-01
13
14. • Some of the most frequently violated OSHA
standards.
• Metal parts of an electrical wiring system that we
touch should be at 0 volts relative to ground (switch
plates,
ceiling light fixtures, conduit, etc.).
• Housings of motors, appliances or tools that are
plugged in to improperly grounded circuits may
become energized.
If you come into contact with an improperly grounded
electrical device YOU WILL GET SHOCKED!
PPT-008-01
14
15. GROUNDING PATH
The path to ground from circuits, equipment and
enclosures must be permanent and continuous.
The violation shown here is an extension cord with
the third/grounding prong missing.
PPT-008-01
15
16. HAND-HELD ELECTRICAL TOOLS:
Hand-held electrical tools pose a
potential danger because they make
continuous good contact with the
hand.
To protect you from shock, burns and
electrocution, tools must:
• Have a 3-wire cord with ground and be
plugged into a grounded receptacle
• Be double insulated
• Be powered by a low-voltage isolation
transformer
PPT-008-01
16
17. Must guard “live” parts of electric
equipment operating at > 50 volts
against accidental contact by:
• Approved cabinets/enclosures
• Location or permanent partitions
(thereby only accessible to qualified
persons)
• Elevation of 8 feet or more above the
floor or working surface
• Mark entrances to guarded locations
with conspicuous warning signs
PPT-008-01
17
18. • Where electrical
equipment is in
locations that it can
suffer physical
damage it must be
guarded.
• The violation shown
here is physical
damage to conduit.
PPT-008-01
18
19. • Junction boxes, pull boxes
and fittings must have
approved covers.
• Unused openings in
cabinets, boxes and fittings
must be closed (no missing
“knockouts”).
• Photo shows violations of
these two requirements.
PPT-008-01
19
20. • Are more vulnerable than fixed wiring.
• Should not be used if recognized wiring methods can be used
instead.
• Flexible cords can be damaged by:
•
Aging
•
Door or window edges
•
Staples or fastenings
•
Abrasion from adjacent materials
•
Activities in the area
• Improper use of flexible cords can cause shocks, burns or fire.
PPT-008-01
20
22. Substitute for
fixed wiring
Run through walls, ceilings
floors, doors, or windows
PPT-008-01
Concealed behind
or attached to
building surfaces
22
23. • Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses
• Warm tools, wires, cords, connections or
junction boxes
• GFCI that shuts off a circuit
• Worn or frayed insulation around wire or
connection
PPT-008-01
23
24. Train employees working with electrical equipment
in safe working practices including:
• De-energizing electrical equipment before
inspecting or making repairs
• Using electric tools in good repair
• Using good judgment when working near
energized lines
• Using appropriate protective equipment, or PPE
PPT-008-01
24
25. Hazards
- Inadequate wiring
-
- Exposed electrical parts
- Wires with bad insulation
- Ungrounded electrical tools/systems
- Overloaded circuits
- Damaged power tools/equipment
- Overhead power lines
- All hazards are made worse in wet
conditions!
