Electrical safety is important in construction due to the dangers of electricity. About 5 workers are electrocuted every week from electrical hazards. Proper grounding, using the correct wire gauge, avoiding exposed wires, inspecting cords and tools, and lockout/tagout procedures are some ways to control electrical hazards on job sites. Electrical shock can cause burns, paralysis or death depending on the current. It is essential for workers to follow safe work practices and control electrical hazards.
Electrical hazards can cause shock, burns or death. Proper grounding, GFCIs, circuit breakers, insulated tools and locking out power sources are essential protections. Workers must be trained to inspect equipment before use, keep work areas dry, and not use damaged tools or flexible cords. When using power tools, guards and safety switches must be used and tools disconnected when not in operation. Hand tools also require inspection for damage and use of protective equipment like goggles.
Electrical hazards can cause serious injury or death. Proper grounding, use of GFCI, fuses, and circuit breakers help protect workers. Live parts must be guarded, and electrical panels, tools, and equipment must be properly maintained and inspected. Workers should receive training on lockout/tagout procedures, PPE use, and safety practices when working with electricity.
- Workers using power tools and electricity face hazards such as exposed electrical parts, damaged cords, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding. This can cause electric shock, burns or fires.
- Proper protections include grounding tools and equipment, using GFCI outlets, ensuring correct wire gauges, inspecting tools for damage, closing electrical panels, and using lockout/tagout procedures.
- It is important to receive training on safe work practices when using electrical tools and equipment, maintain equipment properly, and use personal protective equipment like insulating gloves and hard hats.
There are many electrical hazards in construction work. Electricity can easily cause harm or death through electrocution, fires or indirect injuries like falls. Proper protections include using grounded equipment, guarding live parts, closing panels, inspecting cords and wires, training workers, and locking out power sources before maintenance or repairs. Personal protective equipment like insulating gloves and footwear are also essential to prevent shocks or burns from damaged or improperly used tools and systems. Complying with electrical safety standards and focusing on prevention through planning, inspections and safe work practices can control these risks.
Electrical safety is paramount when working with electricity. Proper lockout/tagout procedures must be followed to de-energize equipment before inspection or repair. Electrical shock can occur when a person provides a path for current to flow through their body, and even small currents above 8mA can be dangerous. It is not the voltage but the current that determines the severity of shock. Following safe work practices like using GFCIs, proper grounding and wiring, insulating tools, and wearing PPE can help prevent electrical injuries and fatalities. Planning, inspection, and training are also critical aspects of electrical safety.

Electricity - The Dangers
⚫ About 5 workers are
electrocuted every week
⚫ Causes 12% of young
worker workplace deaths
⚫ Takes very little electricity
to cause harm
⚫ Significant risk of causing
fires
3. 3
Electricity – How it Works
⚫ Electricity is the flow of
energy from one place to
another
⚫ Requires a source of power:
usually a generating station
⚫ A flow of electrons (current)
travels through a conductor
⚫ Travels in a closed circuit
4. 4
Electrical Terms
⚫ Current -- electrical movement (measured in amps)
⚫ Circuit -- complete path of the current.
Includes electricity source, a conductor, and the output
device or load (such as a lamp, tool, or heater)
⚫ Resistance -- restriction to electrical flow
⚫ Conductors – substances, like metals, with little
resistance to electricity that allow electricity to flow
⚫ Grounding – a conductive connection to the earth
which acts as a protective measure
⚫ Insulators -- substances with high resistance to
electricity like glass, porcelain, plastic, and dry wood
that prevent electricity from getting to unwanted areas
5. 5
Electrical Injuries
There are four main types of electrical injuries:
⚫ Direct:
1. Electrocution or death due to electrical
shock
2. Electrical shock
3. Burns
⚫ Indirect:
4. Falls
6. 6
Electrical Shock
An electrical shock is received when electrical
current passes through the body.
You will get an electrical shock if a part of your
body completes an electrical circuit by…
⚫ Touching a live wire and an electrical ground,
or
⚫ Touching a live wire and another wire at a
different voltage.
7. 7
Shock Severity
⚫ Severity of the shock depends
on:
– Path of current through the body
– Amount of current flowing
through the body (amps)
– Duration of the shocking current
through the body,
⚫ LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT
MEAN LOW HAZARD
8. 8
Dangers of Electrical Shock
⚫ Currents above 10 mA can
paralyze or “freeze” muscles.
⚫ Currents more than 75 mA
can cause a rapid,
ineffective heartbeat -- death
will occur in a few minutes
unless a defibrillator is used
⚫ 75 mA is not much current –
a small power drill uses 30
times as much
Defibrillator in use

Burns
⚫ Most common shock-
related injury
⚫ Occurs when you touch
electrical wiring or
equipment that is
improperly used or
maintained
⚫ Typically occurs on hands
⚫ Very serious injury that
needs immediate attention
11. 11
Falls
⚫ Electric shock can also
cause indirect injuries
⚫ Workers in elevated
locations who experience
a shock may fall,
resulting in serious injury
or death
12. 12
Electrical Hazards and How to
Control Them
Electrical accidents are
caused by a combination
of three factors:
• Unsafe equipment
and/or installation,
• Workplaces made
unsafe by the
environment, and
• Unsafe work practices.
13. 13
Hazard – Exposed Electrical Parts
Cover removed from wiring or breaker box
14. 14
Control – Isolate Electrical Parts
⚫ Use guards or
barriers
⚫ Replace covers
Guard live parts of electric
equipment operating at 50
volts or more against
accidental contact
15. 15
Control – Isolate Electrical Parts
- Cabinets, Boxes & Fittings
Conductors going into them must be protected, and
unused openings must be closed
16. 16
Control – Close Openings
⚫ 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
17. 17
Hazard - Overhead Power Lines
⚫ Usually not insulated
⚫ Examples of equipment that
can contact power lines:
• Crane
• Ladder
• Scaffold
• Backhoe
• Scissors lift
• Raised dump truck bed
• Aluminum paint roller
18. 18
Control - Overhead Power Lines
⚫ Stay at least 10 feet away
⚫ Post warning signs
⚫ Assume that lines are
energized
⚫ Use wood or fiberglass
ladders, not metal
⚫ Power line workers need
special training & PPE
19. 19
Hazard - Inadequate Wiring
⚫ Hazard - wire too small for the
current
⚫ Example - portable tool with an
extension cord that has a wire too
small for the tool
• The tool will draw more current than
the cord can handle, causing
overheating and a possible fire
without tripping the circuit breaker
• The circuit breaker could be the right
size for the circuit but not for the
smaller-wire extension cord
WireGauge
WIRE
Wire gauge measures
wires ranging in size from
number 36 to 0 American
wire gauge (AWG)
20. 20
Control – Use the Correct Wire
⚫ Wire used depends on operation, building materials,
electrical load, and environmental factors
⚫ Use fixed cords rather than flexible cords
⚫ Use the correct extension cord
Must be 3-wire type and designed for
hard or extra-hard use
21. 21
Hazard – Defective Cords & Wires
⚫ Plastic or rubber
covering or
insulation is
missing
⚫ Damaged
extension cords
& tools
22. 22
Hazard – Damaged Cords
⚫ Cords can be damaged by:
• Aging
• Door or window edges
• Staples or fastenings
• Abrasion from adjacent
materials
• Activity in the area
⚫ Improper use can cause
shocks, burns or fire
23. 23
Control – Cords & Wires
⚫ Insulate live wires
⚫ Check before use
⚫ Use only cords that are 3-wire type
⚫ Use only cords marked for hard or
extra-hard usage
⚫ Use only cords, connection
devices, and fittings equipped with
strain relief
⚫ Remove cords by pulling on the
plugs, not the cords
⚫ Cords not marked for hard or
extra-hard use, or which have
been modified, must be taken out
of service immediately
24. 24
Permissible Use of Flexible Cords
DO NOT use flexible wiring where
frequent inspection would be difficult
or where damage would be likely.
Flexible cords must not be . . .
• run through holes in walls, ceilings, or
floors;
• run through doorways, windows, or
similar openings (unless physically
protected);
• hidden in walls, ceilings, floors,
conduit or other raceways.
25. 25
Grounding
Grounding creates a
low-resistance path
from a tool to the earth
to disperse unwanted
current.
When a short or
lightning occurs,
energy flows to the
ground, protecting you
from electrical shock,
injury and death.
26. 26
Hazard – Improper Grounding
⚫ Tools plugged into
improperly grounded
circuits may become
energized
⚫ Broken wire or plug on
extension cord
⚫ Some of the most
frequently violated
OSHA standards
27. 27
Control – Ground Tools & Equipment
⚫ Ground power supply
systems, electrical circuits,
and electrical equipment
⚫ Frequently inspect electrical
systems to insure path to
ground is continuous
⚫ Inspect electrical equipment
before use
⚫ Don’t remove ground prongs
from tools or extension cords
⚫ Ground exposed metal parts
of equipment
28. 28
Control – Use GFCI (ground-fault
circuit interrupter)
⚫ Protects you from shock
⚫ Detects difference in current
between the black and white
wires
⚫ If ground fault detected, GFCI
shuts off electricity in 1/40th of
a second
⚫ Use GFCI’s on all 120-volt,
single-phase, 15- and 20-
ampere receptacles, or have
an assured equipment
grounding conductor program.
29. 29
Control - Assured Equipment
Grounding Conductor Program
Program must cover:
• All cord sets
• Receptacles not part of a building or structure
• Equipment connected by plug and cord
Program requirements include:
• Specific procedures adopted by the employer
• Competent person to implement the program
• Visual inspection for damage of equipment connected
by cord and plug
30. 30
Hazard – Overloaded Circuits
Hazards may result from:
⚫ Too many devices plugged
into a circuit, causing heated
wires and possibly
a fire
⚫ Damaged tools overheating
⚫ Lack of over current
protection
⚫ Wire insulation melting, which
may cause arcing and a fire in
the area where the overload
exists, even inside a wall
31. 31
Control - Electrical Protective
Devices
⚫ Automatically opens circuit if
excess current from overload
or ground-fault is detected –
shutting off electricity
⚫ Includes GFCI’s, fuses, and
circuit breakers
⚫ Fuses and circuit breakers
are overcurrent devices.
When too much current:
• Fuses melt
• Circuit breakers trip
open
32. 32
Power Tool Requirements
• Have a three-wire cord with
ground plugged into a grounded
receptacle, or
• Be double insulated, or
• Be powered by a low-voltage
isolation transformer
33. 33
Tool Safety Tips
⚫ Use gloves and appropriate footwear
⚫ Store in dry place when not using
⚫ Don’t use in wet/damp conditions
⚫ Keep working areas well lit
⚫ Ensure not a tripping hazard
⚫ Don’t carry a tool by the cord
⚫ Don’t yank the cord to disconnect it
⚫ Keep cords away from heat, oil, &
sharp edges
⚫ Disconnect when not in use and when
changing accessories such as blades &
bits
⚫ Remove damaged tools from use
34. 34
Preventing Electrical Hazards - Tools
⚫ Inspect tools before
use
⚫ Use the right tool
correctly
⚫ Protect your tools
⚫ Use double insulated
tools
Double Insulated marking
GROUNDING
Double
Insulation
Or
36. 36
Clues that Electrical Hazards Exist
⚫ 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
37. 37
Lockout and Tagging of Circuits
⚫ Apply locks to power source
after de-energizing
⚫ Tag deactivated controls
⚫ Tag de-energized
equipment and circuits at all
points where they can be
energized
⚫ Tags must identify
equipment or circuits being
worked on
38. 38
Safety-Related Work Practices
To protect workers from
electrical shock:
• Use barriers and guards to
prevent passage through
areas of exposed energized
equipment
• Pre-plan work, post hazard
warnings and use protective
measures
• Keep working spaces and
walkways clear of cords
39. 39
Safety-Related Work Practices
⚫ Use special insulated
tools when working on
fuses with energized
terminals
⚫ Don’t use worn or
frayed cords and
cables
⚫ Don’t fasten extension
cords with staples,
hang from nails, or
suspend by wire.

Preventing Electrical Hazards -
Planning
• Plan your work with others
• Plan to avoid falls
• Plan to lock-out and tag-
out equipment
• Remove jewelry
• Avoid wet conditions and
overhead power lines
41. 41
Avoid Wet Conditions
• If you touch a live wire or other
electrical component while
standing in even a small puddle
of water you’ll get a shock.
• Damaged insulation, equipment,
or tools can expose you to live
electrical parts.
• Improperly grounded metal switch
plates & ceiling lights are
